My Charming Man

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] He wears a silver tie to the winter hotel Keeps every promise in a polished little shell You bring the deed, the debt, the last thing you can sell He says, “My friend, I’ll make it all turn out so well” [Pre-Chorus] His hand is warm, his figures clean He makes a fortune in between The closing door, the desperate plea And calls it opportunity [Chorus] Dan, Dan, charming man With a tender word and a steady hand You take the sorrow, you take the land Then bow like a hero, Dan Oh, Dan, how beautifully you understand How to leave a heart with nothing in its hands [Verse 2] A widow signs beneath the portrait on the wall A factory goes quiet; he remembers every call He sends white roses when the numbers start to fall And smiles as if he never saw the wreckage at all [Pre-Chorus] His coat is soft, his conscience thin He knows just where to let you in Then turns the key with perfect grace And leaves his kindness in its place [Chorus] Dan, Dan, charming man With a tender word and a steady hand You take the sorrow, you take the land Then bow like a hero, Dan Oh, Dan, how beautifully you understand How to leave a heart with nothing in its hands [Bridge] If I were ruined, you’d know what to say You’d make the cruelest bargain feel like rescue for a day And I would thank you, darling, while you carried it away [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Dan, Dan, charming man With a tender word and a steady hand You take the sorrow, you take the land Then bow like a hero, Dan Oh, Dan, come and tell me I can trust your plan Kiss my trembling fingers as you count what’s left again Dan, Dan, charming man May the whole world love you as you take what you can [Outro] My charming man My beautiful, charming man
