[00:00.00]God Bless the Absentee - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)
[00:26.43]Lord I am a working man
[00:29.64]And music is my trade
[00:32.87]I'm traveling with this five-piece band
[00:35.99]And I play the ace of spades
[00:39.78]I have a wife and family
[00:42.53]Who don't see much of me
[00:45.83]God bless the absentee
[00:55.51]Lord I am a surgeon
[00:58.81]And music is my knife
[01:01.89]It cuts away my sorrow
[01:04.99]And purifies my life
[01:08.30]But if I could release my heart
[01:11.53]Veins and arteries
[01:14.01]I'd say God bless the absentee
[01:22.19]I miss my woman so
[01:25.09]I miss my bed
[01:28.30]I miss those soft places
[01:30.86]I used to lay my head
[02:05.42]My son don't need me yet
[02:08.63]His bones are soft
[02:11.42]He flies a silver airplane
[02:14.48]He wears a golden cross
[02:17.79]God bless the absentee
[02:20.27]Lord this country's changed so fast
[02:24.00]The future is the present
[02:27.36]The present's in the past
[02:30.55]Highways are in litigation
[02:33.67]The airports disagree
[02:37.22]God bless the absentee
[02:45.52]God bless the absentee
[02:52.11]God bless the absentee
