Linwood Lyrics – Jon Chandler

Singer: Jon Chandler
Title: Linwood

He’d stand at his second floor window and gaze to the west
Above the wooden false fronts and newly mortared brick and stone buildings on the opposite side of the street
Across the valley to the Red Mountain
And the evergreens would remind him of his boyhood in Georgia

He’d always preferred the fresh scent of pine to the heavy fragrance of magnolia
At the end, his bed was against a wall opposite the window
And he would lay on what passed for a mattress and watch the snow-filled clouds pass over the great red slope
The interplay of light and shadow gave him comfort

And he thought himself fortunate to die in such a lovely place
He spoke of a girl he’d known before he was sent to Philadelphia to take up dentistry
His beautiful cousin
And wondered if she still ministered to the poor and sick

Or taught children that would never be her own
He fought back tears for his mother after so many years
And spoke his long-dead brother’s name
He woke from dreams of Kate, and Wyatt, but his only regular visitor was the kid who worked at the hotel

The kid who brought him whisky, and laudanum
In his delirium, he was back in the Arizona heat
Trying to stop his finger from pulling the shotgun’s trigger
As Tom McLaury screamed, “No!”

His heart beat a little quicker at the thought that he’d soon be able to apologize
He asked the kid about the boneyard here in Glenwood Springs
Did it have a name?
“Don’t know,” the kid replied, and left to find out

He returned later with a fresh bottle and said, “Linwood”
“Hmm,” Doc mused. “It ends in Linwood”
I deal myself another hand, the morning sunlight fades
King of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts, dog-eared trey of spades

True companions all, they are, my life’s only friends
The Queen withholds her judgment, the Jack seeks no amends
Rye whisky burns like hellfire, dulls the deeper pain
Mad dogs need to feel the flame, or their spirit starts to wane

I traveled down a twisted trail that ends in this cheap room
What went before is dust and rage, what lies ahead is gloom
Thoughts of Kansas swirl around
As I lay here in this mountain town

Soon they’ll lay my body down in Linwood
Ten cent novel’s out of reach, dropped down to the floor
It says that I killed 40 men and shot as many more
Somewhere some kid’s reading these tall tales of gun and knife

I pray he never has the chance to take another’s life
I traveled to these mountains in hopes of hanging on
But time now has no meaning, anticipation’s gone
So I try to conjure places, let my memory travel time

Familiar, long gone faces, and a church bell’s distant chime
Ban this devil from my soul
Maybe death will make me whole
They’ll lay me in a six-foot hole in Linwood

My boots sit on the rough hewn floor
My pistol hangs behind the door
I guess they’ll even up the score in Linwood

Linwood – Terjemahan / Translation

Dia akan berdiri di jendela lantai dua dan menatap ke barat
Di atas bagian depan palsu kayu dan bangunan batu bata dan batu yang baru di seberang jalan
Melintasi lembah ke gunung merah
Dan Evergreens akan mengingatkannya pada masa kecilnya di Georgia

Dia selalu lebih suka aroma pinus segar daripada aroma magnolia yang berat
Pada akhirnya, tempat tidurnya di dinding di seberang jendela
Dan dia akan berbaring di atas apa yang berlalu untuk kasur dan menyaksikan awan yang dipenuhi salju melewati lereng merah besar
Interaksi cahaya dan bayangan memberinya kenyamanan

Dan dia mengira dirinya beruntung mati di tempat yang begitu indah
Dia berbicara tentang seorang gadis yang dia kenal sebelum dia dikirim ke Philadelphia untuk mengambil kedokteran gigi
Sepupunya yang cantik
Dan bertanya -tanya apakah dia masih melayani orang miskin dan sakit

Atau mengajar anak -anak yang tidak akan pernah menjadi miliknya sendiri
Dia menahan air mata untuk ibunya setelah bertahun -tahun
Dan mengucapkan nama saudara lelakinya yang sudah lama mati
Dia bangun dari Dreams of Kate, dan Wyatt, tetapi satu -satunya pengunjung tetap adalah anak yang bekerja di hotel

Anak yang membawanya wiski, dan laudanum
Di deliriumnya, dia kembali ke Arizona panas
Mencoba menghentikan jarinya dari menarik pelatuk senapan
Ketika Tom McLaury berteriak, “Tidak!”

Jantungnya berdetak lebih cepat pada pemikiran bahwa dia akan segera bisa meminta maaf
Dia bertanya kepada anak itu tentang boneyard di sini di Glenwood Springs
Apakah itu punya nama?
“Tidak tahu,” jawab anak itu, dan pergi untuk mencari tahu

Dia kembali kemudian dengan botol segar dan berkata, “Linwood”
“Hmm,” renung Doc. “Itu berakhir di linwood”
Saya menangani diri saya sendiri, sinar matahari pagi memudar
Raja Berlian, Ace of Hearts, Trey of Spades bertelinga anjing

Teman sejati semua, mereka, satu -satunya teman hidup saya
Ratu menahan penilaiannya, Jack tidak mencari kesalahan
Wiski gandum menyala seperti neraka, menumpulkan rasa sakit yang lebih dalam
Anjing gila perlu merasakan nyala api, atau semangat mereka mulai berkurang

Saya bepergian menyusuri jejak bengkok yang berakhir di kamar murah ini
Yang sebelumnya adalah debu dan kemarahan, yang ada di depan adalah kesuraman
Pikiran Kansas berputar -putar
Saat saya berbaring di sini di kota pegunungan ini

Segera mereka akan meletakkan tubuh saya di linwood
Novel sepuluh sen di luar jangkauan, jatuh ke lantai
Dikatakan bahwa saya membunuh 40 orang dan menembak lebih banyak lagi
Di suatu tempat beberapa anak membaca kisah -kisah tinggi tentang senjata dan pisau ini

Saya berdoa dia tidak pernah memiliki kesempatan untuk mengambil hidup orang lain
Saya bepergian ke pegunungan ini dengan harapan bisa bertahan
Tapi waktu sekarang tidak ada artinya, antisipasi hilang
Jadi saya mencoba menyulap tempat, biarkan waktu perjalanan ingatan saya

Wajah yang akrab, sudah lama hilang, dan lonceng bel belat gereja
Bankan iblis ini dari jiwaku
Mungkin kematian akan membuatku utuh
Mereka akan membaringkan saya di lubang enam kaki di Linwood

Sepatu bot saya duduk di lantai yang dipahat kasar
Pistol saya tergantung di belakang pintu
Saya kira mereka bahkan akan naik skor di Linwood
