Notes From Paris-Allan Taylor/Chris Jones/Barnaby Taylor/Frank Fiedler/Hans-Joerg Mauksch

[00:00.00] 作词 : Allan Taylor [00:01.00] 作曲 : Allan Taylor [00:23.70]I can still hear him playing, April in Paris [00:29.56]Dexter's blowing his horn [00:34.06]It's a used up tune for a faded moon [00:39.40]And played for the memory of something that's gone [00:49.90]Plays like a lover, who's holding a dream [00:54.65]When he knows that the dream won't last [00:59.41]He's going down slow, but scared he's to let go [01:04.76]Deep down he knows, the dreaming has passed [01:35.61]One hit of c*****e, one hit of horse [01:40.15]He'll take what's on offer today [01:44.70]It's a losers refrain to come back again [01:49.95]That thin line of snow to blow you away [01:59.60]He says "Buy me a vin rouge, buy me a beer [02:04.59]As he sits in The Blue Note Cafe [02:09.31]He's ending his days in a purple haze [02:14.24]As pink and blue neon drag night into day [02:24.44]And the dancers have left the floor [02:29.28]And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the door [02:33.93]The old man's hung up his horn [02:38.73]He's playing no more [03:05.67]It's not for the money, it's not for the fame [03:10.33]It's for something that sings through it all [03:15.07]When the music rings true, your soul comes through [03:20.28]And that's what you do, 'til you hear the last chord [03:30.05]They say we go out, the way we came in [03:34.28]It's how we played it that marks out the man [03:39.10]If we can leave a trace of beauty and grace [03:44.34]Then it wasn't for nothing, just part of the plan [03:54.85]And the dancers have left the floor [03:59.60]And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the door [04:04.03]The old man's hung up his horn [04:08.18]He's playing no more
