Текст песни By the Waters of Babylon (Martha and the Muffins) с переводом

Let me sing a lullaby

Shadowplay across your face

I won’t take a thing away

All the stars are in their place

Doesn’t matter who you are

I won’t leave you in the dark

Close your eyes so you can see

The world the way it used to be

Children born on shaky ground

Falling rain turns green to grey

There’s no shelter from the storm

Silver lining washed away

Scent of something long since gone

Precious things don’t last too long

Close your eyes so you can see

The world the way it used to be

Rising moon dips blue to black

Now the trees begin to weep

Broken gods upon their knees

By the waters of Babylon

Touch me and I’ll disappear

You look at me too long I fear

Close your eyes so you can see

The world the way it used to be
