Testo One More Night - Blue Rodeo
Testo della canzone One More Night (Blue Rodeo), tratta dall'album The Things We Left Behind
Came into the world with his eyes wide open
Knew what it was all about
Grew into a man that the sun just followed
Knew himself inside out
Well we'd watch him go to work each day
And come back underneath the moonlit night
We'd hear them laughing, talking
Always safe behind the walls
Nobody knew too much about them
They never even answered calls
Well his wife was small and pretty
Like a shell illuminated by the light
Well I know there is a plan
But at least from where I stand
I would love to take the place of that man
For just one night
Sometimes situations seem too perfect to be true
People talk and shake their heads the way that people do
You know that small towns show no mercy
And they see their envy in a different light
I woke up late to a big commotion
I wondered what it all was for
Voices screaming in the darkness
Fire and smoke next door
There was someone lying on the lawn
And someone trapped behind the firelight
Oh what could we say
As we watched life slip away
There was nothing we could do to make it right
Not on that night
Leave me here
Sit stretched out on the lawn
I don't think anybody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
Life is my enemy
It took my very best
Left me in a castaway
The shadows then sort through the mess
Struggle to get by with all my might
For one more night
See him out walking in the streets
With nothing in his eyes
People stop and say hello
He'd always act surprised
Well he'd jump back kind of nervous
Like a boxer who'd rather walk away than fight
Just like all in thunderstorms
We knew the day would come
When they talked about it later
No one even knew he had a gun
Well they found him with a picture of his wife beside him
Such a peaceful sight
And if God is looking down
On this little life we've found
I say you pushed that man until he couldn't find
Not one more night
Leave me here
Stretched out on the lawn
I don't think anybody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
Life is my enemy
It took my very best
Left me in a castaway
The shadows then sort through the mess
Struggle to get by with all my might
For one more night
Oh one more night
No not one more night
