Текст песни Diamond Mine (Richard Clapton) с переводом

The city haze in the summertime

The traffic rolls like a serpentine

Sitting down here by the harbor

With a six pack of cold beer

So many thoughts fly round my head

And then they disappear

Back in the days when I was young

I found a place where I belonged

But there’s been so many changes

Innocence got complicated

I’m a prisoner of my dreams

And this tangled web I’ve weaved

Lost my way in the city lights

Now I try too hard to make up the time

The journey doesn’t end here

And the end is not in sight

If I keep on digging deeper

There’ll be diamonds down the mine

Long ago in the underworld

I was down and out 'til I met a girl

And she never tried to change me

And I knew she trusted in me

Led me through her garden gate

'Til I finally found my way

The road is dark, and it ain’t too clear

Whatever things have brought me here

Sometimes brings me so undone

And I knew this day would come

When I would finally see

Through the shadows of my dreams

Lost my way in the city lights

Now I try too hard to make up the time

Looking back over my shoulder

At the shadows of my dreams

Though I can’t escape the future

Trying to fight my way upstream

Though I know there’s so far to go

There’s so much to do, so much room to grow

The journey doesn’t end here

I can make up for lost time

If I keep on digging deeper

There’ll be diamonds down the mine

I’m sitting down by the harbor side

So many things flying round my mind

Can’t stop thinking about you, baby

You have brought me so much good

I wish that I could find the words

But I’m so misunderstood

Lost my way in the city lights

Now I try too hard to make up the time

The journey doesn’t end here

And the end is not in sight

If I keep on digging deeper

There’ll be diamonds down the mine

I thought that I had a poet’s mind

I’ve tried so hard, but I can’t describe

What it is about you, baby

I can’t seem to get it right

But my every imperfection

You have filled up with your light

Lost my way in the city lights

Now I try too hard to make up the time

The journey doesn’t end here

And the end is not in sight

If I keep on digging deeper

There’ll be diamonds down the mine
