Moonlight Motel - Bruce Springsteen

作词：Bruce Springsteen

作曲：Bruce Springsteen

There's a place on a blank stretch of road where

Nobody travels and nobody goes and the

Deskman says these days 'round here

Two young folks could probably up and disappear into

Rustlin' sheets a sleepy corner room

Into the musty smell

Of wilted flowers and

Lazy afternoon hours

At the Moonlight Motel

Now the pool's filled with empty eight-foot deep

Got dandelions growin' up through the cracks in the concrete

Chain-link fence half-rusted away

Got a sign says children be careful how you play

Your lipstick taste and your whispered secret

I promised I'd never tell

A half-drunk beer and your breath in my ear

At the Moonlight Motel

Well then it's bills and kids and kids and bills

And the ringing of the bell

Across the valley floor through the dusty screen door

Of the Moonlight Motel

Last night I dreamed of you my lover

And the wind blew through the window and blew off the covers

Of my lonely bed I woke to something you said

That it's better to have loved yeah it's better to have loved

As I drove there was a chill in the breeze

And leaves tumbled from the sky and fell

Onto a road so black as I backtracked

To the Moonlight Motel

She was boarded up and gone like an old Summer song

Nothing but an empty shell

I pulled in and stopped into my old spot

I pulled a bottle of Jack out of a paper bag

Poured one for me and one for you as well

Then it was one more shot poured out onto the parking lot

To the Moonlight Motel
