Текст песни Classrooms and Kitchens (Mark Seymour) с переводом

Classrooms and kitchens

Small country houses

Blue Hills on the radio

She stoked the fire

She weaved and she sewed

The river broke and it flooded down the road

Cattle in the garden

Snakes in the grass

Fog in the morning

Rising at last

Oh the dust never settled

But the willows weep and the windows rattle

She sits by the window

In a blue rubber chair

They’ve wiped her lips

They’ve tied back her hair

Come on lay down, lay down

Lay down your long goodbye

Come on lay down, lay down

Lay down your long goodbye

Here comes the thunder

Here come the rain

Danny boy’s calling her

She’s singing again

Oh her grey eyes keep glowing

Through the tears and the pain

Oh her petty coat’s showing

Well her hands start shaking

When the old man comes around

The rain outside is soaking the ground

Come on lay down, lay down

Lay down your long goodbye

She’s leaving, she’s leaving

It’s too late to wonder why

She’s searching for traces

Blinks in the light

It’s in their faces in the dead of the night

When they crawled into her bed

She remembers what her children once said

Singing Hail Mary all over again

She’s counting angels from zero to ten

Come on lay down, lay down

Lay down your long goodbye

She’s leaving; she’s leaving

It’s too late to wonder why

Come on lay down, lay down

Lay down your long goodbye

Goodbye
