Ballad of Tanya and Joe - David Stockdale

[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stockdale
[00:21.63]When Tanya and Joe set out on open road
[00:27.15]No one thought she'd ever be back
[00:35.69]It takes a village to show
[00:39.10]It's children how to grow
[00:42.84]But the weak are still driven from the pack
[00:50.23]They met in de-tox seems so many years ago
[00:57.42]Her bane was booze, his was methadone
[01:04.54]They realised you can't fight that **** with lies
[01:11.80]That's when they started to roam
[01:20.57]
[01:33.67]She'd been pierced, he tattooed waist to head
[01:40.61]Both bore the brand of outsiders
[01:47.91]Dodging police cars
[01:51.01]With bridges for a bed
[01:54.89]They rode the Western sky, dark riders
[02:01.97]It wasn't that simple, but better than back home
[02:09.09]Far better than the expectations and the curse
[02:16.58]Once they were beaten but mostly they made love
[02:23.45]In fields of the universe
[02:32.01]
[02:45.25]One summer night under silvery moon
[02:52.22]Policemen, looking for a man
[02:59.52]A veteran whose daughter
[03:02.78]Had died from the spoon
[03:06.33]Careless bullet found Tanya as she ran
[03:13.52]Now Joe's still vagrant and he curses all of those
[03:21.38]Who took Tanya back to be buried with her kin
[03:27.78]She wanted her ashes tossed on a river that flowed
[03:34.91]Anywhere she had never been
