[00:00.5]Corey's Coming (科里来了) (LP版) - Harry Chapin
[00:01.76]Written by：Harry Chapin
[00:13.84]Old John Joseph was a man with two first names
[00:18.32]They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains
[00:23.56]Only one run a week comes on roaring down that line
[00:28.78]So all he got to worry 'bout is time
[00:33.57]I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where he's been
[00:37.89]He says come on sit down kid where shall I begin
[00:42.47]He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past
[00:47.36]But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last
[00:52.63]And he says my Corey's coming no more sad stories coming
[00:59.11]My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl
[01:04.5]And like I told you when she holds you
[01:08.71]She enfolds you in her world
[01:23.61]I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew
[01:28.33]And so I asked the towns folk if his stories were true
[01:33.61]Well they said old John was born here he's lived here all his life
[01:38.259995]He's never had a woman let alone a wife
[01:43.990005]And very soon you'll find out as you check around
[01:48.47]That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town
[01:52.91]So I chided the old man 'bout the truth that I had heard
[01:57.32]He smiled and said reality is only just a word
[02:02.5]Can't you see my Corey's coming
[02:05.53]No more sad stories coming
[02:08.86]My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl
[02:14.19]And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world
[02:25.57]I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout
[02:29.84]I looked in the window and saw the fire was out
[02:35.70999]When he would not wake up I forced in the door
[02:39.84]And I saw that old John Joseph would tell stories no more
[02:46.51]The scene at the graveyard three of us were there
[02:50.94]Me and the grave digger heard the parson's prayer
[02:55.99]He said we need not grieve for this man
[03:00.74]For we know that god cares
[03:09.94]They put the cold dirt over him left me on my own
[03:14.42]When at last I looked up I saw I was not alone
[03:19.81]So I said if you're a relative he had a peaceful end
[03:24.98]That's when she said my name is Corey
[03:31.95999]You can say I'm just a friend
[03:38.24]Corey's coming no more sad stories coming
[03:46.89]My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl
[03:57.73]And like I told you when she holds you
[04:05.74]She enfolds you in her world
[04:22.76]So that's the old man's story I'm glad you came tonight
[04:26.81]You see a busted down old railroad yard sure makes a lonely sight
[04:32.81]You may wonder why a young man would work out here alone
[04:37.37]Well the job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones
[04:42.89]And I confess I get to missing the old man a bit
[04:47.2]And there's one other reason I guess I should admit
[04:54.53]Can't you see my Corey's coming no more sad stories coming
[05:00.75]My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl
[05:07.87]And like he told me when she holds me
[05:15.95]She enfolds me in her world
