Текст песни Death Came (Lucinda Williams) с переводом

I was called to the rolling banks of the water to bathe

In the river of truth

The river tried to pull me under

And refused to turn me loose

I was called to read from the bible of life

And I read from beginning to end

Every page and every line

Still I could not comprehend

Death came, death came

And gave you his kiss

Death came, death came

And took you away from this

Oh, I miss you so

And I long to know

Why death gave you his kiss

I tasted the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge

And I ate from dawn til dark

I was sated but not satisfied

Until I carved my name in the bark

I was called to drink and was seduced

By the sweetest, brightest berry

I quenched my thirst with the red juice

Still I found no sanctuary

I miss you so

And I long to know

Why death gave you his kiss
