歌曲名 Almost Lucy

歌手名 Al Stewart

作曲：Al Stewart

Lucy worked a different club every day

And though she put her mind to it

Her heart was never in it

She stayed around just long enough to get paid

She won't pass the time with you she can't stay a minute

And all these changing faces never bothered her at all

They just existed like a back-drop or a pattern on the wall

Lucy looks like someone who is waiting for a call

She knows he'll come but no-one else can hear at all

Lucy finds the dressing room and the bar

Hangs her clothes up hopes tonight

The contract won't be broken

Well they kick you round so much when you're not a star

Make you play all night just for a pittance or a token

But all these imperfections never bothered her at all

She says it sharpens your perception

when your back's against the wall

There's something that enables her to rise above it all

To shrug it off just when it seems to go too far

Hey hey hey I think you almost feel the pain coming on inside

Hey hey hey I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why

You don't know why

The last time that I saw her she had given up the chase

Moved away to California got a suntan on her face

She said that life was just another time another space

It's over now she learned a lot it's not a waste

Hey hey hey I think you almost feel the pain coming on inside

Hey hey hey I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why

Hey hey hey I think you almost feel yourself reaching out inside

Hey hey hey I think you almost feel it now

and you don't know why you don't know why

you don't know why
