The Contender (Live) - Christy Moore

The Contender (Live) LRC歌词

[00:00.00](为纪念爱尔兰科克郡传奇拳击手Jack Doyle)

[00:10.00]When i was young and I was in my day

[00:17.00]I could steal what women's heart there was a way

[00:25.00]I sing and dance into the morning

[00:29.00]I blaze a way until the dawning

[00:33.00]Long before I was the man you see today

[00:40.00]And I was born beneath the star that promised it all

[00:47.00]I could have lived my life between Cork Cobh and Youghal

[00:55.00]But the wheel of fortune took me

[00:58.00]From the highest point she shook me

[01:02.00]By the bottle live by the bottle i shall fall

[01:09.00]And there in the mirror on the wall

[01:16.00]I see the dream is fading

[01:23.00]From the contender to the brawl

[01:31.00]The ring, the rose, the matador, is raving

[01:40.00]And when I die I'll die a drunk down on the street

[01:47.00]You can count me out to ten in clear defeat

[01:55.00]Warp the stars ploughing around me

[01:58.00]And let the pipers in air resound me

[02:03.00]There I'll rest until the Lord of love I meet

[02:09.00]And there in the mirror on the wall

[02:17.00]I see the dream is fading

[02:23.00]From the contender to the brawl

[02:31.00]The ring, the rose, the matador, is raving

[02:55.00]Oh warp the stars that ploughing around me

[02:59.00]And let the pipers in air resound me

[03:03.00]There I'll rest until the Lord of love I meet
