Текст песни Black and White (Jackson Browne) с переводом

Long before you ever saw your chances

You were going to burn this city down

Tired of the fashions and the dances

Tired of the people standing around

Ticking like a bomb in the night

And you knew you were right

Black and white

Blame it on the time it took to leave here

Blame it on the ones who slowed you down

Blame it on the kind of friends you knew here

Blame it on the sickness going 'round

Going round and round in the night

With your heart out of sight

With your world burning bright

Like a moth 'round a light

Black and white

The pictures of a life in flames

Black and white

The picture of a life remains

And the search you half remember

Setting out on at the start

Is burning like an ember in your heart

Time running out time running out

For the fool still asking what his life is about

Time running out time running out

Time running out time running out

Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt

Time running out time running out

Tell them that you’ve gone to find a person

Someone you lost track of long ago

Tell them that it’s someone you need worse than

Anybody else you’ll ever know

Ticking like a bomb in the night

You were strong, you were light

You were fast, you were bright

Then you were gone in the light

Black and white

The pictures of a life in flames

Black and white

The picture of a life remains

And the high ideals and the promise

You once dressed the future in

Are dancing in the embers with the wind

Time running out time running out

For the fool still asking what his life is about

Time running out time running out

Time running out time running out

Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt

Time running out time running out
