酒のやど
香西かおり Lyrics

おんなは翳(かげ)ある横顔みせて
西から流れてきたという
問わず語りの身のうえ話
ひざをよせあうカウンター
さすらいのさすらいの酒をのむ
こぼれ灯のこぼれ灯の酒のやど
硝子戸ゆすって雪が舞う

おんなは数えてはたちと幾つ
男につくした指を折る

遠(とう)のむかしに
わかれた女(やつ)を
想い出させるそのしぐさ
さすらいのさすらいの酒をのむ
こぼれ灯のこぼれ灯の酒のやど
泣くなよしみるぜ
あの汽笛(きてき)

おんなは離れのちいさな部屋に
泊まっていってと下を向く
故郷(ふるさと)なくした
似た者どうし
夢のかけらがほしい夜
さすらいのさすらいの酒をのむ
こぼれ灯のこぼれ灯の酒のやど
ゆらりとくずれる酔いごころ
