Richard Marx《Hazard》

演唱：Richard Marx

my mother came to hazard when i was just seven

even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes

that boy's not right

three years ago when i came to know mary

first time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies

and saw the man inside

we used to walk down by the river

she loved to watch the sun go down

we used to walk along the river

and dream our way out of this town

no one understood what i felt for mary

no one cared until the night she went out walking alone

and never came home

man with a badge came knocking next morning

here was i surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly

pointed right at me

i swear i left her by the river

i swear i left her safe and sound

i need to make it to the river

and leave this old nebraska town

i think about my life gone by

and how it's done me wrong

there's no escape for me this time

all of my rescues are gone, long gone

i swear i left her by the river

i swear i left her safe and sound

i need to make it to the river

and leave this old nebraska town

Richard Marx可谓多才多艺，在很多方面均有不俗的表现。他走的是hard rock的摇滚路线，又能出色演绎right here waiting，keep coming back之类的ballat作品。而hazard则属中板的pop rock格局，无论旋律，编曲和演绎都是不急不徐，让人十分舒服，在不知不觉之中遗身世外，走进那个nebraska town，走进主人公内心世界。。。
