Текст песни Ballad Of Elijah Cain (Southern Cross) с переводом

I dreamed that I was a sailor

John Pilgrim was my name

I sailed a ship out of Bristol town

Headed for the coast of Maine

My love she was a young girl

To me she was a queen

Her daddy was rich I was poor

She was just seventeen

I held her close beside me

And I told her my goodbye

How could I know that within a year

She was doomed to die

Now my fortune is a legend

Won by force of arms

But I’d give it all up just to get her back

With all her woman’s charms

And the rain falls down

And the rain falls down

And the rain falls down

On me…

The Lord came down to Moses

And he said «Now listen well,

Write these words in stone

And take them down to Israel»

As the thunder came crashing

I went reaching for my gun

When in truth I was only aching

To put an end to what I’ve become

When I woke up the sun was shining

And I knew that you’re gone

I know I said that I didn’t care

Ah, but honey I was wrong

And I felt just like a soldier

When I walked into your room

You said you’d never betray me

But you spoke too soon

And the rain falls down

And the rain falls down

And the rain falls down

On me…

Now the road goes on forever

And the sky it never ends

East to west and north to south

And right back again

And as I lose my vision

Like some leper refugee

Out of space and out of time

And out of destiny

The last time that I saw her

She was standing in the street

The crowd flowed all around her

Like a river at her feet

I remember how she looked at me

With her dark and haunted eyes

Like a saint throen to the fire

Stripped of all disguise

And the rain falls down

And the rain falls down

And the rain falls down

On me
