Chanson du jour : Train leaves here this morning (Gene Clark & Bernie Leadon)


Bernie Leadon & Gene Clark

Train leaves here this morning est l'une de mes chansons préférées depuis que je l'ai entendue sur le premier album des Eagles, voici maintenant quelques décennies... Elle a été composée par l'Oyseau Gene Clark (de 1964 à 1966) et l'Aigle Bernie Leadon et apparait pour la première fois sur l'album The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark (octobre 1968) et en face B du premier single de D&C, paru en novembre '68. La version des Eagles, plus country, parait sur le premier album du groupe, sorti en juin 1972. On peut entendre une version enregistrée par les Eagles à la BBC en 1973.

Elle apparaitra ensuite en 2003 sur la ré-éditon de l'album solo de Gene Clark No Other, sur différentes compilations et sur deux albums live parus récemment : Gene Clark Silverado '75 et Gene Clark & Carla Olson: In Concert.

I lost ten points just for being in the right place
at exactly the wrong time
I looked right at the facts there,
but I may as well have

been completely blind

So, if you see me walking all alone
Don't look back, I'm just on my way back home
there's a train leaves here this morning, and
I don't know, what I might be on

She signed me to a contract, baby said it would
all be so life long
I looked around then for a reason
when there wasn't something more to blame it on

But, if time makes a difference while we're gone
Tell me now, and I won't be hanging on
There's a train leaves here this morning
and I don't know, what I might be on
ooo, ooo, ooo.. etc...

1320 North Columbus was the address
that I wrote down on my sleeve
I don't know just what she wanted
might have been that it was getting time to leave
and I watched as the smoker passed it on
and I laughed when the joker said, "Lead on."

cause there's a train leaves here this morning
and I don't know, what I might be on
And there's train leaves here this morning
and I don't know, what I might be on
