１～３枚目は今朝常総市で撮ったもの。最後の一枚は昨日の朝、取手市で撮ったものです。
太陽が昇る前、色付いた空に筑波山のシルエットが浮かび上がる・・・、
その姿はアップした写真よりもはるかに綺麗です。
朝は涼しかった茨城県南部ですが、今日もまた暑くなりそうだなー。
音楽の話題です。Only a hobo という歌があります。
hobo は浮浪者のこと、浮浪者の悲しい死を歌っています。
ボブディランの作った歌ですが、何故か彼のオフィシャルアルバムに
この曲は収録されていません。（The bootleg series 3 には収録されてましたけど）
で、ロッドスチュアートの歌で。

歌詞は下記のとおりです。何だか身につまされるなぁー、こういう歌。
As I was out walking on the corner one day.
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay.
His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor.
I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more.
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone.
Leaving nobody to carry it on.
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone.
A blanket of newspaper covered his head.
The step was his pillow.
The street was his bed.
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come.
and a fistful of money showed the coins that he'd bummed.
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone.
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song.
Leavin' nobody to carry it on.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone.
Does it take much of a man to see a whole life go down.
To look on the world from a hole in the ground.
Too late for your future like a horse that's gone lame.
To lie in the gutter and die with no name.
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone.
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song.
Leavin' nobody to carry it on.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone.
