The Days Of Pearly Spencer (珀利·斯宾塞的日子) - David McWilliams[00:00:00]
Written by:David McWilliams[00:00:07]
A tenement a dirty street[00:00:15]
Walked and worn by shoeless feet[00:00:17]
Inside it's long and so complete[00:00:19]
Watched by a shivering sun[00:00:22]
Old eyes in a small child's face[00:00:25]
Watching as the shadows race[00:00:28]
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace[00:00:29]
And daylight's brightness shuns[00:00:32]
The days of pearly spencer[00:00:39]
The race is almost run[00:00:48]
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass[00:00:54]
Gazing as the swollen mass[00:00:56]
On concrete fields where grows no grass[00:00:58]
Stumbles blindly on[00:01:01]
Iron trees smother the air[00:01:04]
But withering they stand and stare[00:01:06]
Through eyes that neither know nor care[00:01:08]
Where the grass is gone[00:01:11]
The days of pearly spencer[00:01:17]
The race is almost run[00:01:26]
Pearly where's your milk white skin[00:01:32]
What's that stubble on your chin[00:01:35]
It's buried in the rot gut gin[00:01:37]
You played and lost not won[00:01:39]
You played a house that can't be beat[00:01:42]
Now look your head's bowed in defeat[00:01:45]
You walked too far along the street[00:01:47]
Where only rats can run[00:01:49]
The days of pearly spencer[00:01:56]
The race is almost run[00:02:05]
The days of pearly spencer[00:02:14]
The race is almost run[00:02:23]
