I Wanna Lean A Love Song (LP版) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
I come fresh from the street[00:00:13]
Fast on my feet kinda lean and lazy[00:00:14]
Not much meat on my bones[00:00:19]
And a whole lot alone and more than a little bit crazy[00:00:21]
The old six string was all I had[00:00:26]
To keep my belly still[00:00:29]
And for each full hour lesson I gave[00:00:32]
I got a crisp ten dollar bill[00:00:35]
She was married for seven years[00:00:40]
To a concrete castle king[00:00:43]
She said she wanted to learn to play the guitar[00:00:46]
And to hear her children sing[00:00:49]
So I'd show up about once a week[00:00:52]
In my faded tight legged jeans[00:00:55]
With a backlog full of hobo stories[00:00:58]
And dilapidated dreams[00:01:02]
She said I wanna learn a love song[00:01:06]
Full of happy things[00:01:10]
She said I wanna learn a love song[00:01:12]
Won't you let me hear you sing[00:01:16]
She said I I wanna learn a love song[00:01:20]
I wanna hear you play[00:01:24]
She said I I wanna learn a love song[00:01:27]
Before you go away[00:01:30]
So I tried to teach her a couple of chords[00:01:38]
And an easy melody[00:01:41]
But it always turned out she'd rather listen[00:01:44]
To my guitar and me[00:01:47]
I could hear her old man laughin' in the den[00:01:50]
Playin' stud poker with the boys[00:01:53]
While I sang so soft in the living room[00:01:56]
Too scared to make much noise[00:02:00]
I came one week and the den was dark[00:02:05]
And she met me at the door[00:02:08]
And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked[00:02:11]
'Til I could not sing no more[00:02:14]
The silence kept on buildin'[00:02:18]
Her eyes grew much too wide[00:02:21]
And I could hear love of our heartbeats[00:02:24]
But there was no place to hide[00:02:27]
She said I wanna learn a love song[00:02:32]
Full of happy things[00:02:36]
She said I wanna learn a love song[00:02:38]
Won't you let me hear you sing[00:02:41]
She said I I wanna learn a love song[00:02:46]
I wanna hear you play[00:02:50]
She said I I wanna learn a love song[00:02:52]
Before you go away[00:02:56]
Well I guess you know what happened[00:03:10]
God I I never been so clean[00:03:12]
Yeah I feel like I'm workin' in a hollywood movie[00:03:15]
Or livin' out a good bad dream[00:03:19]
And all them pin up girls in that tinsel world[00:03:22]
Never touched me like she can[00:03:25]
It took another man's wife in the real world life[00:03:28]
To make this boy a man[00:03:32]
She said I wanna learn a love song[00:03:36]
Full of happy things[00:03:40]
She said I wanna learn a love song[00:03:42]
Won't you let me hear you sing[00:03:46]
She said I I wanna learn a love song[00:03:50]
I wanna hear you play[00:03:54]
She said I I wanna learn a love song[00:03:56]
Before you go away[00:04:00]
I guess you know I stayed[00:04:08]
