The Days of Pearly Spencer 歌詞

The Days of Pearly Spencer - David McWilliams

A tenement a dirty street

 

Walked and worn by shoeless feet

 

Inside it's long and so complete

 

Watched by a shivering sun

 

Old eyes in a small child's face

 

Watching as the shadows race

 

Through walls and cracks and leave no trace

 

And daylight's brightness shuns

 

The days of pearly spencer

 

The race is almost run

 

Nose pressed hard on frosted glass

 

Gazing as the swollen mass

 

On concrete fields where grows no grass

 

Stumbles blindly on

 

Iron trees smother the air

 

But withering they stand and stare

 

Through eyes that neither know nor care

 

Where the grass is gone

 

The days of pearly spencer

 

The race is almost run

 

Pearly where's your milk white skin

 

What's that stubble on your chin

 

It's buried in the rot-gut gin

 

You played and lost not won

 

You played a house that can't be beat

 

Now look your head's bowed in defeat

 

You walked too far along the street

 

Where only rats can run

 

The days of pearly spencer

 

The race is almost run

 

The days of pearly spencer

 

 

The race is almost run
