Rocking Horse Road

Rocking Horse Road - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)

The chains from the bridle and the reins fell from my hands

And the engines are idle and the ship sails on dry land

I stood there stupefied I thought I recognized

Walking down Rocking Horse Road getting lost

Shot through Vaseline he picks up the paper from the lawn

And tucks the Suburban Assassin underneath his arm

He smiles weakly and turns away

I know I'll never come to harm

Walking down Rocking Horse Road it's so peaceful

It's like a photograph

From the other side of the world

I said I want you only

And then I left you alone

Crying on Rocking Horse Road or somewhere quite like it

The cemetery gardens there are names not numbers on the gateposts

And the eyes in the curtain follow you like a smirking ghost

I know I must not look back

'Cause part of me is waiting still

There on Rocking Horse Road for you

In a little dream house made for two

Well you were the one that made your escape

In your stocking feet and your sticky tape

All the way down

All the way down

All the way down

All the way down

All the way down

Oh

Walking down Rocking Horse Road

Walking

Walking

Walking

Walking
