The Crock Of Gold |
We’ll live out our lives on this dirty old street |
Only because we just can’t compete |
But in the concrete of our younger days, we left our names |
Just like the people before, when they reached |
The distant shore with their drink and their dance |
And their dreams and sincere aims |
Ghosts long gone, through old buildings they stare |
With their offspring staring at me for they are still there |
Dreams that are dead and lives not realized |
Why did we write our names in these streets |
To show we’re alive? |
Well, Chicago is my home and I’ll never want to roam |
To live on any sun swept distant shore |
Well, it is where I was reared by forbearers so revered |
And I sing the songs that they all sang before |
Well, any woman that’s neared me |
Has been repelled most thoroughly |
Still I’m a lover God, I am foremost of all |
A musician that’s my call of high degree professional |
But I’m afraid I do not know my trade at all |
And if it’s every twenty years |
Some small relief to me appears |
Then the crock of gold will wait until that day |
To defend myself no more |
Lay the shield of anger at my door |
And the sword of alcohol will stow away |
All the people in our town are overworked and broken down |
Begging cheques but it’s just not enough they’re giving |
Crying quietly, living life so desperately |
That something has to make this life worth living |
Real life is only a timeline |
And the excitement holds the short times |
It will never measure up to what TV sells as great |
All the drunken jokes and views |
Exciting pubs they tell the news |
But the exciting pats, well, they just weren’t all that great |
I met a girl one night and enchantment fixed our sight |
So we decided we would hold it for awhile |
But she would not love me, so inside me finally said |
«It's not your fault.» |
But I would like love if only for a while |
Well, it’s on and on I’ve seen, yeah that’s how it’s always been |
And how it will be as ever on I go |
Oh, but ever on I will |
Through all the banal times until I find some |
Place to me that seems like home |
