letra de sawchuk - del barber & the no regretzskys

[verse 1]
his father was ukrainian
he was born canadian
1929 now boys on the [?] to the stars
hit the ice at the age of twelve
the first of a thousand scars he had
he lost his brother to a mystery pain
and he brought home the bruises then
he never rode the train ‘fore
conscious of the clothes he wore
hockey jacket in his brother’s pants
ten dollars pressed in his hands
home at heart in michigan
leave with a peg in the winds
red wings on the losing end
he was there to change everything

[chorus]
air is thin, ice is sl1ck
you gotta see the shot before it leaves the stick
only terry sawchuk done that
only terry sawchuk ever done that

[verse 2]
terry turned them all back
wherever point that they’d attack
for the rocket at rusty hall
take it in the chest, or in the skull
cheats the hawks in the middle leagues
leave the haves in disbelief
said new york [?]
break boston’s heart again
the scars piled up on scar
like he was in his own world war
it would hurt just to look at him
like the gangster in the howard hawks film
and the mask that would hide his face
machine gun and a violin case
take your best shot, let it come
cause this weather reads number one

[chorus]
finally the puck feels like a brick
he can’t see the shot before it leaves the stick
only terry sawchuk done that
only terry sawchuk ever done that

[verse 3]
five years and the stanley cup
crowds wild then lift him up
when you win the stands they cheer
when you lose they hiss and jeer
the whole crowd got no respect
give your all, this is what you get
be careful what you wish
cause sudden death got a bitter kiss

[chorus]
a heart stop crowd, they catch him quick
he tried to see the shot before it leaves the stick
only terry sawchuk done that
only terry sawchuk ever done that
only terry sawchuk done that
only terry sawchuk ever done that

[verse 4]
he [?] with the boston train
top of a downhill drain
olympia in slow decline
something darker, biding time
he carried all that alone
he was the darkest force they ever rode
and each game they lost
he was the best that there ever was
the rest was a bad dream
shuffling from team to team
when he was done, it was all in ruin
a tired warrior at forty one
[?] of time in sp-ce
four hundred st-tches to the face
bout a week after his last game
terry sawchuk’s heart caves in

[chorus]
he hears his brother’s voice as he lies awake
try and see the shot before it leaves the stick
only terry sawchuk done that
only terry sawchuk ever done that
only terry sawchuk done that
only terry sawchuk ever done that
only terry sawchuk done that
only terry sawchuk ever done that
