Miss Ghost-Don Henley

[00:00.000] 作词 : Henley, Lynch, Winding [00:17.26][00:18.26] [00:23.18]On a misbegotten, moonless night [00:27.83]I stumbled in my door [00:32.13]Disgusted with my circumstance [00:36.64]Soaked to every pore [00:40.93]When floating from my bedroom [00:45.04]Came a moaning and a sigh [00:50.73]“Oh, I've had one too many [00:55.38]It's just the wind,” says I [01:09.31]I lit up a cigarette [01:13.81]And I poured a good, stiff drink [01:17.84]You see, I needed to compose myself [01:22.73]I needed time to think [01:26.64]No sooner had I settled down [01:31.09]The moaning came again [01:35.86]Drifting through the silence [01:39.97]Like some otherworldly violin [01:45.36]I bounded up the staircase [01:49.41]I went slippin' and slidin' down the hall [01:54.40]You know, I've been around the whole, wide world [01:59.15]But I was not prepared at all [02:03.78]Uninvited visitor, unsuspecting host [02:12.94]“Well, I see you've made yourself at home. [02:16.35]Good evening, Miss Ghost.” [02:30.85]You're more beautiful than ever [02:36.03]I feel just like a kid [02:40.72]And I commence to trembling [02:45.03]When I think of all the things we did [02:49.51]Skin as pale as marble; lips as red as blood [02:58.55]Imagine my surprise, my dear [03:03.19]I thought that you were gone for good [03:07.93]You look so lovely lying there [03:11.76]All stretched out on your back [03:16.41]But I'm the one who's strung up here [03:21.25]On old temptation's rusty rack [03:25.90]And in the wee small hours [03:29.81]Is when I miss you the most [03:34.31]And I confess it, I have missed you [03:38.59]Miss Ghost [03:48.12]I threw open the window [03:51.42]And I howled at the rain [03:57.65]And I cursed the weakness of the flesh [04:02.70]This breath and bone—and this brute, reptilian brain [04:29.58]What dirty tricks the mind can play [04:34.02]In the lonely dead of night [04:38.56]When you bump into the shadow [04:42.89]Of a faded love that wasn't right [04:47.39]Way down beneath the surface [04:51.44]Far beyond the light of day [04:56.19]So many things lie buried deep [05:01.89]And baby, they should stay that way [05:06.68]Oh, my wicked, little habit [05:10.52]We've really made a mess [05:15.56]Everything's been trivialized [05:19.45]In our vain pursuit of happiness [05:24.54]And even though you've come for me [05:29.00]I won't go back with you [05:33.71]To some temporary heaven [05:37.69]Down some empty, dead-end avenue [05:42.74]But it's been so good to have you here [05:47.32]And I propose a toast [05:50.37]“Here's to seeing through you— [05:57.46]Miss Ghost.”
