Текст песни Black River (William Topley) с переводом

Ain’t no cage that can hold you

Said it’s going to be rough

Facing up to some justice

Oh Black River let me roll back to you

Under the water the light looks so fine

And down in the shallows

The faithless are gathering

To steal from the sufferer

What’s yours and what’s mine

What am I going to say

And who’s going to believe me

When they drag you away

Scratching and screaming and kicking

Said it’s going to be brutal

And it’s me who’s left grieving facing up to the truth

Oh Black River let me roll back to you

Under the water the light looks so fine

And down in the shallows the faithless are gathering

To steal from the sufferer

The sacrament wine

Oh Black River

Let me roll back to you

Under the water the light looks so fine

And out on the iron shore the lighthouse is flickering

A psalm for the serpents

Some rummy’s last call

Oh Black River

Let me roll back to you

Under the water the light looks so fine

And down in the foxhole

The torchlights still flickering

And back in the shanty

The waters run dry

What am I going to do?

Ain’t no cage that can hold you

What am I gonna say

When they drag you away
