歌曲歌詞
"Fight tuberculosis, folks." “
Christmas Eve, an old junkie selling Christmas seals on North Park Street
The "Priest", they called him
"Fight tuberculosis, folks."“
People hurried by, gray shadows on a distant wall
It was getting late and no money to score
He turned into a side street and the lake wind hit him like a knife
Cab stop just ahead under a streetlight
Boy got out with a suitcase
Thin kid in prep school clothes
"Familiar face," the Priest told himself, watching from the doorway“
"Reminds me of something a long time ago." “
The boy, there, with his overcoat unbuttoned, reaching into his pants pocket for the cab fare
The cab drove away and turned the corner
The boy went inside a building
The suitcase was there in the doorway
The boy nowhere in sight
"Gone to get the keys, most likely, have to move fast."“
He picked up the suitcase and started for the corner
Made it. Glanced down at the case
It didn’t look like the case the boy had, or any boy would have
The Priest couldn’t put his finger on what was so old about the case
