Carrying The Torch — текст песни (Kinky Friedman)

(kinky friedman)



Did I hear you say you wished that you could leave her ?

Has some foolish disagreement made you blind ?

If you traveled round this world, you wouldnt find another girl

To hold the candle to the guy you left behind.



And boy, shes carrying the torch for you

Though solid tears may fall, you never know.

But on the day that you discover how much you really love her

Youll find her love has never lost its glow.



She believed ya when you pledged her your devotion

When she watched you as you walked right out the door.

After all that shes been through tonight she still believes in you

As she stands there all alone upon the shore.



And boy, shes carrying the torch for you,

Though her heart may break, you never know.

But on the day that you discover how much you really love her

Youll find her love has never lost its glow.



You know, I still remember the first time I ever saw her.

You see, I was coming home from overseas,

And well, she was just standing there as the ship was comin in.

Well, she really stood out from the crowd, I can tell you that.

And the golden light of dawn was gleaming in her eyes.

Well, theres some folks that call her proud,

And theres some folks that call her wild,

And theres some that even go so far as to call her free,

And then theres some ...

Well they just call her the statue of liberty!



And boy shes carrying the torch for you

Thank you!

Her love light shines for all this world to see.

Thank you very much!

And on that day

Thank you!

Youll find a way to love her

She wants you just to know youre always free.
