Текст песни Barn Song (Gabriel Kahane) с переводом

Kids don’t learn to write their cursive letters here anymore

Fingers more than nimble, and recall’s in the frost

Oh all these schools of lisping children

Singing rhymes to their dad

What of words in cracked communion? Noble, silent, and bare

Come apart like needles, and we don’t know the names of

All these trees up on the island

Don’t they just look the same?

Why don’t you ever look up to the sky?

Windows are shuttered, you cover your eye

Don’t see a reason for keeping in time

What of films of Joseph Cotten, angles shot from on high?

None of us remembers the details of the plot, but

We found black and white romantic

Now you’re left with the thought…

Why don’t you ever look up to the sky?

Windows are shuttered, you cover your eye

Don’t see a reason for keeping in time

You’re always distracted, the devil in signs
