[00:01.36]Lady on the other side of town
[00:06.95]---齐豫---
[00:16.16]
[00:20.25]All his friends would go to
[00:21.50]movies on Friday nights
[00:24.19]They'd be drinking beer
[00:25.32]and acting like clowns
[00:28.26]But he would go to see a lady
[00:31.93]on the other side of town
[00:39.74]She lived just a block away from Blue Street
[00:43.81]Near the cemetery grounds
[00:47.68]In a two story house by the river
[00:51.66]On the other side of town (chorus)
[00:59.38]And the lady on the other side of town
[01:06.91]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[01:15.11]And today he wished the lady could be found
[01:22.94]On the other side of town
[01:31.09]She was 34 and he was 19
[01:34.90]It was a social oddity
[01:39.23]But nobody knew save the cat and the wind
[01:43.12]That an older woman loved him
[01:50.74]They'd play Joni Mitchell records for hours
[01:54.56]Smoking cigarettes and watching TV
[01:58.68]On a mattress on the floor by the window
[02:02.74]Where she made love to him (chorus)
[02:10.20]And the lady on the other side of town
[02:17.76]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[02:25.79]And today he wished the lady could be found
[02:33.55]On the other side of town
[02:42.86]" I'll make you some tea,"
[02:46.83]the lady would say
[02:50.74]" If you would play piano for me "
[02:57.78]Music......
[03:12.99]And the lady missed her husband
[03:17.01]She talked of her divorce all the time
[03:21.14]Oh, she missed her lover
[03:24.76]And her was missing his
[03:32.34]Cause his lover was an actress
[03:35.94]She made him promises and let him down
[03:39.90]So he had to find his love from a lady
[03:44.07]On the other side of town (chorus)
[03:51.48]And the lady on the other side of town
[03:58.90]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[04:06.94]And today he wished the lady could be found
[04:14.74]On the other side of town
[04:23.14]The cold icy beam of the moonlight
[04:26.69]Cast its shadows on their bodies that danced
[04:30.54]And he noticed that the lady had fallen asleep
[04:34.91]So he slipped on his pants
[04:42.54]And he wrote her a note on hte table
[04:46.42]Then he put the pencil down
[04:50.22]Said that he was gonna leave the lady
[04:54.22]On the other side of town (chorus)
[05:01.94]And the lady on the other side of town
[05:09.44]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[05:17.51]And today he wished the lady could be found
[05:25.39]On the other side of town
[05:33.42]As he closed the gate behind him
[05:37.61]The tears welled up in her eyes
[05:41.13]With the note in her hand at the window
[05:45.05]She was sadly waving good-bye
[05:52.89]Well he never knew how much that he loved her
[05:56.76]And the thought never did occur
[06:00.79]The someday he'd be somewhere far away
[06:04.94]And still be thinking of her
[06:12.54]And still be thinking of her
[06:20.57]
[06:24.05]And the lady on the other side of town
[06:31.42]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[06:39.64]And today he wished the lady could be found

Lady on the other side of town
---齐豫---
All his friends would go to
movies on Friday nights
They'd be drinking beer
and acting like clowns
But he would go to see a lady
on the other side of town
She lived just a block away from Blue Street
Near the cemetery grounds
In a two story house by the river
On the other side of town (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
She was 34 and he was 19
It was a social oddity
But nobody knew save the cat and the wind
That an older woman loved him
They'd play Joni Mitchell records for hours
Smoking cigarettes and watching TV
On a mattress on the floor by the window
Where she made love to him (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
" I'll make you some tea,"
the lady would say
" If you would play piano for me "
Music......
And the lady missed her husband
She talked of her divorce all the time
Oh, she missed her lover
And her was missing his
Cause his lover was an actress
She made him promises and let him down
So he had to find his love from a lady
On the other side of town (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
The cold icy beam of the moonlight
Cast its shadows on their bodies that danced
And he noticed that the lady had fallen asleep
So he slipped on his pants
And he wrote her a note on hte table
Then he put the pencil down
Said that he was gonna leave the lady
On the other side of town (chorus)
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side of town
As he closed the gate behind him
The tears welled up in her eyes
With the note in her hand at the window
She was sadly waving good-bye
Well he never knew how much that he loved her
And the thought never did occur
The someday he'd be somewhere far away
And still be thinking of her
And still be thinking of her
And the lady on the other side of town
Never tried to make him cry or put him down
And today he wished the lady could be found
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side of town
