Текст Donna Fargo – I Want To Learn A Love Song

He came fresh from the street
Fast on the speed
Kind of lean and lazy
Not much meat on his bones

His old six string was all he had
To keep his belly still
And for each full hour lesson he gave
He got a crisp ten dollar bill

And I’d been married for seven long years
To a concrete castle king
I decided to learn to play the guitar
Just to hear my children sing

So he’d show up about once a week
In his faded tight legged jeans
With a backlog full of hobo stories
And a lap of dated dreams

I said I want to learn a love song
Full of happy things
I said I want to learn a love song, boy
Don’t you let me hear you sing?

I want to learn a love song
I want to hear you play
I said I want to learn a love song, boy
Before you go away

So he tried to teach me a few easy chords
And a simple melody
But most of the time I’d rather listen to him
Just play and sing to me

Then he came one night and the house was door
I met him on the door
And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked
Till we could not sing no more

I said I want to learn a love song, boy
Full of happy things
I said I want to learn a love song
Won’t you let me hear you sing?

I want to learn a love song
I want to hear you play
I’d say I want to learn a love song
Before you go away

I guess you know what happened
Lord, he’s been good to me
Sometimes I feel like I’m workin’ in a Hollywood movie
Or living out a good bad dream

I said I want to learn a love song, boy
Full of happy things
I said I want to learn a love song
Won’t you let me hear you sing?

I want to learn a love song
I want to hear you play
I’d say I want to learn a love song
Before you go away
