Текст песни Bamboo (Robert Ellis) с переводом

There was a field of bamboo trees

Behind the house down by the creek

In the summers they got so high

There were swarms of mosquitos around that old dock

That field was all cut down

Oh I ain’t been back there since I left town

And that dock has all but washed away

Just a crude reminder of what it was yesterday

It was there that I first learned to shoot

I steadied my hand, pulled the trigger of that old .22

I learned to build things

Made from scrap wood

With hammer and nails

I did what I could

To be just like you

But I sold those guns and bought a car

I don’t have no where to shoot

I don’t have a backyard

And I don’t feel much anymore

I spend all my time workin'

Buy what I need at the store

Ain’t it funny

How memories can feel

Ain’t it strange

What time can steal

There ain’t one thing good

About bein' on the bad end of the deal

Like getting memories in place

Of something that was real

Ain’t it funny

How things can change

Ain’t it strange

What comes with age

There ain’t nothin'

Good 'bout gettin' old

And goin' gray

And losin' dear friends

Along the way
