Best for the Best-Josh Ritter

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Josh Ritter [00:28.50]Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
我曾在艰苦的日子里与一个女孩相依为命 [00:33.50]She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
她在商店为我购置一件廉价衬衫 [00:39.50]Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
现在她离我而去 但每当我穿上它时 她的身影便闪过我的脑海 [00:45.50]And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
一切只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却成了无情 [00:51.50]I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand
我意识到伊利诺斯远远超出了我的承受能力 [00:56.50]They say working's best cause poverty is hell on a man
他们说工作其实是最好的解压方式 因为贫穷使人卑微 [01:02.50]Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan
如今我随着缓慢流淌的河流穿过墨西哥湾 [01:08.50]And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned
一切只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却成了诅咒 [01:25.10]I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain
我花了几年时间研究西班牙女王 [01:31.50]She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames
她如一条漏水的小船 总是被点燃怒火 [01:37.50]When the boiler blew some people started naming names
当锅炉爆炸时我脑海里流转的仍是你的名字 [01:42.50]But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame
只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却被你责怪 [01:50.50]I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown
我在开罗王冠上花费了更多精力 [01:54.50]A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns
观看中西部城镇的重量级摔跤手的比赛 [02:00.50]But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down
但那个缠绕在我心间的女孩却令我此刻寂寞如斯 [02:06.50]They say the best is for the best but that's not what I've found
他们说的我并未发觉 [02:47.20]Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst
如今我倾听爱人的心声 倾听我的渴望 [02:53.50]I don't spend time listening to other people's words
我从不浪费时间听他人的闲言碎语 [02:59.50]Sometimes they're right most times the reverse
有时他们所言属实 但大多数时候都与事实相悖 [03:05.50]They say the best is for the best when the best's for the worse
他们说物极必反 当你想尽力给予她最好的时候却忽略了她的感受 [03:11.50]Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
我曾在艰苦的日子里与一个女孩相依为命 [03:16.50]She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes

现在她离我而去 但每当我穿上它时 她的身影便闪过我的脑海 [03:28.50]And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
一切只因我想将最好的东西给最好的你 只是这最好却成了无情 [03:34.50]Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
