Drops From My Faucet (LP版) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]
Drops from the faucet[00:00:15]
Like a nervous heart[00:00:18]
Beat on my porcelain sink[00:00:21]
A rhythm avant garde[00:00:24]
I page through the phone book[00:00:28]
Reach for my fountain pen[00:00:30]
Is he comin' in for the holidays[00:00:34]
To haunt me again[00:00:37]
I call up the grand central[00:00:40]
Information please[00:00:44]
Is that nickel line on time oh fine[00:00:48]
It's a hairdo with a wave[00:00:53]
We both forgot and forgave last time[00:00:57]
A peddler of pots and pans[00:01:07]
Down on union square[00:01:09]
Said city hall[00:01:12]
Wants us off the street[00:01:14]
There's no christmas in the air[00:01:16]
Some high brows were waiting[00:01:20]
Carnation bright lapels[00:01:22]
Their big cars line the curbs[00:01:26]
Outside those grand hotels[00:01:29]
I passed a marquee third avenue[00:01:32]
Ramona with Loretta young[00:01:38]
And I swung myself around[00:01:43]
And headed uptown to the train[00:01:49]
So this is new year's eve[00:02:49]
Another year has passed[00:02:52]
We wait so patiently but still[00:02:55]
They come and go so fast[00:02:59]
I stand on this platform[00:03:02]
Wait for that basket of light[00:03:04]
And the sound of the whistle screamin' out[00:03:08]
Like a hot trumpet in the night[00:03:10]
And as I'm waitin'[00:03:14]
I wonder why and where[00:03:17]
And what went wrong[00:03:21]
But this song don't tell no lies[00:03:24]
It was just a quick goodbye[00:03:30]
