A Night This Side Of Dying(Alb—Carole King[00:00:01]
I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyes[00:00:17]
Standing on a corner with the afternoon's supply[00:00:25]
She spoke of other places, perhaps a better road[00:00:34]
Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode[00:00:42]
Like a night this side of dying[00:00:51]
Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf[00:00:55]
When she hears her lifeline crying[00:01:03]
Not a thing you say can stop her[00:01:07]
When she just can't stop herself[00:01:12]
I remember that July, the panic and the heat[00:01:31]
The savage shine of summer, the strychnine in the street[00:01:39]
The way they sold each other for a favor in glassine[00:01:47]
The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams[00:01:55]
Like a night this side of dying[00:02:03]
Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf[00:02:07]
Like the shelter she's been buying[00:02:16]
Not a thing I've got can save her[00:02:20]
When she just can't save herself[00:02:24]
She just can't save herself[00:02:31]
