Jack of Diamond - The Walkers

Well he spent that summer walkin' door to door With a can of gas and an ol' lawn mower That's a sure fire way to make a buck when you're fourteen Well he walked the block with no luck at all Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall With a young girl sittin' on the front porch eatin'ice cream Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans was some caramel corn and a plastic ring Leftover from the week before Momma didn't wash them, thank the Lord Just like a Cracker Jack diamond You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack diamond Well it's been five years since he gave her his prize Now the sparkle's gone, but not in their eyes And he's wanting to tell her what's been on his mind, lately He said, girl I ain't rich but I've been saving up A little ever day 'til I had enough Before he could finished she said, "you know I will baby" Deep in the pocket of his holey jeans Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring He took her back to that old front porch Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord Just like a Cracker Jack diamond You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack diamond Once a year she takes it out But it won't fit her hand But she wears it in her heart 'cause that's where it all began Just like a Cracker Jack diamond You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack diamond

何回転んだっていいさ擦り剥いた傷をちゃんと見るんだ 真紅の血が輝いて「君は生きてる」と教えてる 固いアスファルトの上に雫になって落ちて 今までどこをどうやって歩いてきたのかを教えてる 何回迷ったっていいさ血の跡を辿り戻ればいいさ 目標なんか無くていいさ気付けば後から付いてくる 可能性という名の道が幾つも伸びてるせいで 散々迷いながらどこへでも行けるんだ 大事なモンは幾つもあった なんか随分減っちゃったけど ひとつだけひとつだけその腕でギュッと抱えて離すな 血が叫び教えてる「君は生きてる」という言葉だけは 一体どれくらいの間助けを呼ぶ声を無視してんだ その背中に貼り付いた泣き声の主を探すんだ 前ばかり見てるからなかなか気付かないんだ 置いて行かないでくれって泣いてすがる様なSOS 聴いた事ある懐かしい声 なんか随分大切な声 ひとつずつひとつずつ何かを落っことしてここまで来た ひとつずつ拾うタメ道を引き返すのは間違いじゃない やっと会えた 君は誰だい? あぁそういえば君は僕だ 大嫌いな弱い僕を ずっと前にここで置きざりにしたんだ 何回転んだっていいさ何回迷ったっていいさ 大事なモンは幾つも無いさ 後にも先にもひとつだけひとつだけ その腕でギュッと抱えて離すな 世の中にひとつだけかけがえのない生きてる自分 弱い部分強い部分その実両方がかけがえのない自分 誰よりも何よりもそれをまずギュッと強く抱きしめてくれ 上手に唄えなくていいさいつか旅に出るその時は 迷わずこの唄をリュックに詰めて行ってくれ

The story of my life Is very plain to read It starts the day you came It ends the day you leave The story of my life Begins and ends with you The names are still the same The story's still the truth I was alone You found me waiting And made me your own I was afraid That somehow I never could be The man that you wanted of me You're the story of my life And every word is true Each chapter sings your name Each page begins with you It's the story of our times And never letting go And if I die today I wanted you to know Stay with me here Share with me, care with me Stay and be near And when it began I'd lie awake every night Just knowing somewhere deep inside That our love affair just might write The story of my life It's so very plain to read It starts the day you came And ends the day you leave
