Celtic–Mandarin folk direction · tin whistle, guitar and erhu

At three in the morning, Old Wang asks no questions about why someone took the night shift; he simply pushes the flask closer. A note about turning on the heating survives his retirement. Care need not be loud if someone remembers you feel the cold.

The public Celtic–Mandarin folk brief proposes tin whistle, fingerpicked guitar and answering erhu around an intimate mezzo lead. Its unhurried six-eight direction leaves breathing room for the night shift and for care passed onward.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] 老王值了十七年夜班 我调过来那晚 他把保温杯往我这边推了推 说先喝口热的 别急着看表 [Verse 2] 凌晨三点最难熬 他就开始讲他儿子 讲了十七年 我后来能背下来哪段该笑 [Chorus] 他不问我为什么来上夜班 他只是把杯子推过来 他不问我为什么来上夜班 有些事不问才叫照顾 一个不问的人 比十个关心的人管用 [Verse 3] 他退休那天没让人送 只在交接本上写了一行 「新来的姑娘怕冷 记得早点开暖气」 那本子我一直留着 [Bridge] 现在换我值夜班带新人 凌晨三点我也讲我的事 讲得他们能背下来哪段该笑 我没告诉他们这是跟谁学的 [Final Chorus] 我不问他们为什么来上夜班 我只是把杯子推过去 我不问他们为什么来上夜班 十七年换了个人接着往下做 老王你看 你那句话还在暖气片上 [Outro] (吉他一句,走廊灯管嗡嗡响)
