[00:00.00] 作曲 : Martin[00:55.80]When you said, "Good-bye,"[00:58.92]I thought[01:00.06]I would cry[01:01.41]Or at least feel a dark that's a deep shade of blue.[01:07.44]I would have to attend to a heart on the mend,[01:12.75]And would fight back memories of you.[01:17.52]You affected my life, oh,[01:21.18]I cannot deny it.[01:22.77]You made me believe that life's not for free.[01:29.64]But anger and scorn are not what[01:33.81]I'm built for,[01:34.08]So, my darling,[01:36.72]I'll leave that for you.[02:08.73]I sat one night in the glow of fire light,[02:12.33]And I played all my favorite tunes you disliked.[02:16.23]Some friends made a call, "Let's go casual;Tonight is the Calico Ball."[02:23.49]Now I'm feeling alive with a man on each side,[02:27.39]With my heart leaning torward the most apropos.[02:30.99]And each swing 'round the room lifts and spins off the gloom[02:34.98]And every step takes me further from you.[02:38.34]That night at the dance, after our long romance[02:42.66]Made me feel like a woman in bloom.[02:46.26]Romance, it is true, it is useful for youth,[02:49.65]But for me, now, my star is truth.[02:53.34]Then a man came to me,[02:55.23]I said, "Yes, I am free."[02:58.47]And I undid the clasp on my gold ball and chain.[03:00.90]I danced in his charms, was completely disarmed,[03:04.59]Now I'm riding along on a[03:06.69]Calico Train.[03:08.22]Sorrow and[03:53.31]Strain, they can both long remain,[03:55.56]They can take you and leave you alone and in pain.[03:59.43]But freedom's in sight, if the road in the night,[04:03.03]Is lit by the light of the[04:05.01]Calico Train.[04:06.27]Joy is the word now that's guiding my life.[04:10.11]My step is much quicker since you said goodbye[04:14.07]The blood flowing through me has turned to champagne,[04:17.22]Now I'm riding along on the[04:19.47]Calico Train.
