英語俗諺說道The Way To A Friend's Home Is Never Far.,朋友家就在附近,不遠,真的不遠。
Operator Jim Croce
Operator, well could you help me
place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is
old and faded
She's living in L. A. with my best
old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and
sometimes hated
*Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you
can find it
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine
And to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just
convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
( No, no, no, no -- that's not
the way it feels )
Operator, well could you help me
place this call?
Well, I can't read the number that
you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought
would save me(*)
Operator, well let's forget
about this call
There's no one there I really
wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime(*)
