歌词
Across the rooftops to the tall pines
There's a girl downstairs I swear who is going to be mine
She eyes the boys as the town hall clock rings four
The waiters fill out glasses 'til out hearts can't take no more
There's no love in this old part of town
There are no birds flying my way
They lost a pilot who one night got shot down
I guess you've got to live from day to day
I guess you've got to live from day to day
Twelve hundred miles to my home town
The station is full of soldiers whose hearts weigh them down
Through the steam I can just make out the track
I wish I had someone who made it worthwhile looking back
But there's no love in this old part of town
There are no birds flying my way
They lost a pilot Lord who one night got shot down
I guess you've got to live from day to day
I guess you've got to live from day to day
You in your greatcoat and I in my shoes
We have lost the bitterness but we've still got the blues
Your hand in my hand sends my one foot to the grave
Your love is like a diamond but I cannot be saved
I turn my key for the last time
This weekend room no longer shall be mine
And I close my case, everything I have is here
The pen with which I write to you
The money to buy my beer
But there's no love in this old part of town
There are no birds flying my way
They lost a pilot Lord who one night got shot down
I guess you've got to live from day to day
I guess you've got to live from day to day
I guess you've got to live from day to day
I guess you've got to live from day to day
