Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place

It was an early mornin' bar
And the place just up
And the little man came in so
And he at his cups

And the broad who served the
She was a big old friendly
She tried to fight her nights
By at the world

And she said, "Hey bub
been awhile since you been around
Where the hell you hidin'?
And why you so down?"

The little man just sat
Like he'd never a sound
The waitress, she gave out a cough
And actin' not the least put off, she spoke once

She said, "I don't to bother you
Consider understood
I know I'm not no queen
But I can listen good"

And the little man took his drink in his
And he raised it to his
He a couple of sips
And he told that waitress this

I am the watchman
Down at Tool and Die
And I watch the metal
I watch the go by

A week ago at the diner, I to get a bite
And this lovely lady
She sat two from my right
And Lord, Lord, she was alright

You see, she was so damned
She warm a winter frost
But she looked long lonely
And well now I, I was

Now I'm not much of a
Or a easy guy
But I decided to on over and give her one good try
And Lord, Lord, Lord she was a try

But I was like a school boy
I stammered out some
It did not seem to much
I don't think she heard

She just looked on through me
To a space back in my
And it me into silence
As quietly she

"If you me to come with you
all right with me
'Cause I know I'm nowhere
And anywhere's a place to be
Anywhere's a better to be"

When I drove her to my house
And I her up to my room
And I went to turn on the light
To up the gloom

But she said, "Please leave the off
Oh, I don't the dark"
And as her clothes all 'round her
I could my heart

The shone upon her
As she lay in my bed
It was the kind of I only
Had in my head

I could not believe it
To think that she was
And as I tried to her, she said
"Shh, I just how you feel"

"And if you to come here with me
all right with me
'Cause been, oh, so lonely
someone is a better way to be
Anywhere's a better to be"

Well, the mornin' so swiftly
I her in my arms
She slept like a
Snug and safe from

I did not want to her
Or to break the mood
So, before she woke I out
To buy us some food

I came back with a bag
To find she was gone
She'd left a six word
Sayin', "It's time that I on"

You know that took her bar rag
And she wiped it her eyes
And as she spoke her voice out
As somethin' a sigh

She said, "I wish that I was
Or you were halfway blind
And I wish I weren't so fat
I that you were mine"

"And I wish that come with me
When I leave for
For we both all about emptiness
And all alone"

And the man
Looked at the glass in his hand
And he smiled a crooked
He said, "I I'm out of gin
And I know we both have so lonely"

"And if you want me to come you
That's with me
'Cause I know I'm goin'
And anywhere's a better to be"
