Cold Feet - Tracy Chapman (特蕾西·查普曼)[00:00:00]
Written by:Tracy Chapman[00:00:01]
There was a little boy[00:00:23]
Once upon a time[00:00:25]
Who in spite of his young age[00:00:28]
And small size knew his mind[00:00:31]
For every copper penny[00:00:33]
And clover he would find[00:00:36]
Make a wish for better days[00:00:38]
The end of hard times[00:00:41]
For no more[00:00:43]
Cold feet[00:00:44]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:00:46]
His clothes were always clean[00:00:54]
His face was always scrubbed[00:00:56]
There was food on the table[00:00:58]
Enough to fill him up[00:01:01]
His house was full of life[00:01:03]
His house was full of love[00:01:06]
But when winter days arrived[00:01:08]
There was never money enough to shod his[00:01:11]
Cold feet[00:01:14]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:01:16]
He grew up to be a worker[00:01:23]
Determined to succeed[00:01:26]
He made a life for himself[00:01:28]
Free from worldly wants or needs[00:01:31]
But with nobody to share the life he'd made[00:01:33]
No body to keep him warm[00:01:36]
At night when he'd go to sleep[00:01:38]
He'd sleep alone with his[00:01:42]
Cold feet[00:01:44]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:01:46]
One night he walked the street[00:01:53]
Looking to the heaven's above[00:01:55]
Searching for a shooting star[00:01:58]
A benevolent God[00:02:01]
When a woman passing by brushed his arm[00:02:03]
He turned and found love[00:02:06]
He then wished for the courage to ask this stranger[00:02:08]
Who she was to not have[00:02:11]
Cold feet[00:02:14]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:02:15]
One year later he stood beside her[00:02:22]
I'll give you everything you want[00:02:25]
She said I'll take some love[00:02:27]
From my heart to keep your body warm[00:02:29]
You won't have[00:02:31]
Cold feet[00:02:33]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:02:35]
That she'd like the party life[00:02:42]
And want the finer things[00:02:44]
So he promised more than he could buy[00:02:46]
He promised her the sun[00:02:49]
And moon to not have[00:02:50]
Cold feet[00:02:52]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:02:54]
He worked day and night[00:03:01]
His fingers to the bone[00:03:04]
His worried mind[00:03:07]
Guilty conscience drive him on[00:03:08]
He can't give her what she needs[00:03:11]
He wants to give her what he thinks she wants[00:03:13]
Her sad face[00:03:16]
His empty pockets drive him on[00:03:18]
And his[00:03:25]
Cold feet[00:03:26]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:03:28]
He'd struggled all his life[00:03:35]
To be an honest man[00:03:37]
Proud that the dirt on his palms[00:03:39]
Was the soil of the land[00:03:41]
Some guys he knew from high school days[00:03:44]
Said they had a plan to get rich well quick[00:03:46]
And they could count him in if he don't have[00:03:51]
Cold feet[00:03:54]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:03:56]
He thought about their offer[00:04:03]
Accepted it without qualms[00:04:05]
Dreamt about the life he'd buy[00:04:08]
The comfort that would come without[00:04:10]
Cold feet[00:04:13]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:04:15]
He decided to drive the car[00:04:22]
He decided to carry the gun[00:04:24]
To take the biggest risk of all[00:04:26]
To prove his loyalty to his friends[00:04:28]
He decided to tell his wife[00:04:31]
Things would soon turn around[00:04:33]
He said the little boy is dead[00:04:35]
A man stands with you now without[00:04:38]
Cold feet[00:04:42]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:04:43]
Without[00:04:50]
Cold feet[00:04:51]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:04:52]
He thought he'd set his clock right[00:05:00]
He thought he'd read his watch[00:05:02]
He left in such a hurry[00:05:04]
He didn't think to wish for luck[00:05:06]
Makes no difference if you're early[00:05:09]
No difference if you're late[00:05:11]
When you're out of time[00:05:14]
The flowers have been laid[00:05:16]
You're six feet underground with[00:05:19]
Cold feet[00:05:22]
Cold cold cold cold feet[00:05:24]
