letra de i want to learn a love song - harry chapin
i come fresh from the street
fast on my feet, kinda lean and lazy
not much meat on my bones
and a whole lot alone, more than a little bit crazy
and the old six-string, was all i had
to keep my belly still
and for each full hour lesson i gave
i got a crisp, ten dollar bill
you see, she was married for seven years
to a concrete castle king
she said, she wanted to learn to play the guitar
and to hear her children sing
so, i’d show up about once a week
in my faded tight-legged jeans
with a backlog full of hobo stories
and dilapidated dreams
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
full of happy things”
she said, “i wannalearn a love song
won’t you let me hear you sing?”
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
wanna hear you play”
she said, “i, i wanna learn a love song
before you go away”
so, i tried to teach her a couple of chords
and an easy melody
but it always turned out, she’d rather listen
to my guitar and me
i could hear her old man laughin’ in the den
playin’ stud poker with the boys
while i sang so soft in the living room
too scared to make much noise
i came one week and the den was dark
and she met me at the door
and we sat on the couch and we sang and talked
’til i could not sing no more
you know, the silence kept on buildin’
and her eyes grew much too wide
i could hear both of our heartbeats
but there was no place to hide
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
full of happy things”
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
won’t you let me hear you sing?”
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
wanna hear you play”
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
before you go away”
guess, you know what happened
my god, i never been so clean
yeah, i feel like i’m workin’ in a hollywood movie
or livin’ out a good bad dream
and all them pin-up girls in that tinsel world
never touched me, like she can
it took another man’s wife in the real world life
to make this boy, a man
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
full of happy things”
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
won’t you let me hear you sing?”
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
wanna hear you play”
she said, “i wanna learn a love song
before you go away”
i guess you know, i stayed
