Sparrows Point - Richard Shindell[00:00:00]

Written by：GATES/CHRIS/GOTTLIEB/MICHAEL/ROACH/DAVID[00:00:02]

My name[00:00:08]

Is William Taylor[00:00:10]

I was born[00:00:14]

In '24[00:00:16]

Too late to know[00:00:19]

The great fallen[00:00:21]

In time[00:00:25]

To know the great fall[00:00:26]

When my father died[00:00:29]

Of money[00:00:32]

My mother lived in spite[00:00:35]

We laughed[00:00:39]

When nothing was funny[00:00:41]

And how we wept[00:00:46]

When nothing was left[00:00:47]

So I left her there[00:00:53]

In boomtown[00:00:56]

When I reached[00:00:59]

Fifteen years[00:01:01]

I traveled mostly northeast[00:01:04]

With my head[00:01:10]

Held mostly down[00:01:11]

'Cause they said there was more[00:01:15]

In baltimore[00:01:18]

Where those shipyards never close[00:01:21]

You can sell the man[00:01:25]

Your labor[00:01:28]

And send the money home[00:01:32]

Broadway found me penniless[00:01:40]

The mission found me last[00:01:45]

They gave me a coat[00:01:51]

And three days rest[00:01:53]

And when I awoke and left[00:01:57]

A shroud of steam[00:02:01]

Surrounded me[00:02:04]

And I was borne away[00:02:07]

I found myself[00:02:12]

At sparrows point[00:02:14]

With a slingshot[00:02:18]

In my hand[00:02:19]

Standing there[00:02:26]

Around me[00:02:28]

Two thousand[00:02:30]

Idle hands[00:02:32]

Their heads bowed low[00:02:35]

Their hopes not high[00:02:38]

Their hearts[00:02:41]

Weaned of their homes[00:02:42]

And Their pockets full[00:02:45]

Of photographs[00:02:48]

Their eyes full of[00:02:51]

Goodbyes[00:02:53]

I took my place[00:02:56]

Among my kind[00:02:58]

And I held my place[00:03:02]

In line[00:03:04]

Now I'm twenty one[00:03:53]

And well employed[00:03:56]

And I send home[00:03:59]

Most of my pay[00:04:01]

Which leaves plenty left[00:04:04]

For cigarettes[00:04:06]

To help me pass the days[00:04:10]

With beloved friends[00:04:15]

Surrounding me[00:04:18]

The cold streets so far away[00:04:20]

Three days west[00:04:26]

Of normandy[00:04:27]

A rifle[00:04:31]

In my hand[00:04:32]
