Broken Man's Lament - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)[00:00:00]

I was once a broken man[00:00:01]

I was once a broken fool[00:00:04]

Lost my wife and children[00:00:10]

To one basic broken rule[00:00:12]

Now I live my life in silence[00:00:16]

Though I'm not quite in a shell[00:00:19]

I drink and listen to that song[00:00:25]

A whiter shade of pale[00:00:27]

Oh a whiter shade of pale[00:00:30]

I was a good shade tree mechanic[00:00:36]

So I sent myself to school[00:00:39]

They smoothed out my rough edges[00:00:42]

In my hands they put new tools[00:00:46]

The instructor once he told me[00:00:49]

I could work on any line[00:00:52]

I could tune and make a diesel sing[00:00:57]

Just like Patsy Cline[00:01:01]

Oh just like Patsy Cline[00:01:05]

Well I met my wife to be[00:01:14]

Through my mother's best friend son[00:01:17]

She'd been a barroom singer[00:01:20]

She was as good as anyone[00:01:23]

But I asked her to stop singing[00:01:27]

And the girl she did not flinch[00:01:31]

Next day she went and bought that man[00:01:34]

A brand new crescent wrench[00:01:38]

Oh a brand new crescent wrench[00:01:40]

Well we had three fine children[00:01:51]

As eight years went on by[00:01:54]

I learned to supervise a line[00:01:58]

My knuckles stayed bone dry[00:02:01]

But after supper I kept hearing her[00:02:04]

By the kitchen radio[00:02:07]

Singing sweet but desperate harmony[00:02:12]

A little bit too low[00:02:16]

Oh a little bit too low[00:02:19]

She left three months later[00:02:28]

I'd just come home for lunch[00:02:31]

The note said easy come hard go[00:02:35]

But still love you much[00:02:39]

She said I don't know if I'll be back[00:02:42]

Or if you'll want me if I come[00:02:45]

But if and when that happens dear[00:02:49]

You better let my sweet dream run[00:02:52]

Oh let my sweet dream run[00:02:55]

I was a good shade tree mechanic[00:03:29]

So I sent myself to school[00:03:31]

They smoothed out my rough edges[00:03:36]

In my hands they put new tools[00:03:39]

The instructor once he told me[00:03:43]

I could work on any line[00:03:46]

But now a diesel ain't the only thing[00:03:51]

Can sing like Patsy Cline[00:03:55]

Oh can sing like Patsy Cline[00:03:58]

I was once a broken man[00:04:03]

I was once a broken fool[00:04:07]

Lost my wife and children[00:04:11]

To one basic broken rule[00:04:14]

Now I live my life in silence[00:04:18]

Though I'm not quite in a shell[00:04:21]

I drink and listen to that song[00:04:27]

A whiter shade of pale[00:04:30]

Oh a whiter shade of pale[00:04:34]
