Текст песни Does It Remind You Of When? (The Fiery Furnaces) с переводом

How the years have gone

It’s come to this

A rose on his lapel, in the open coffin I’d give him a kiss

I have to go up north to play at his funeral

And his wife is there

In some chapel she’s picked out

And there’s not even an organ

I have to play on some broken upright piano

Listen to these low notes

What a joke

And you have to park and you couldn’t even hear the ceremony in the cemetery

Because the noise from the traffic and construction is so terrible

And I stood there in the slush

And I walked along, very slowly

To the tree by the turn

And I went in front of my mother and father and sister and husband’s graves

And looked over to the sun setting to the right

Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock

And I thought of myself

And I thought of them

In the cold hard ground

You still can’t believe

You still can’t believe

I didn’t believe it then

And I don’t believe it now

I didn’t believe it then

And I don’t believe it now

I didn’t believe it then and I don’t believe it now

But there it is

Listen to this tune I’m playing for you now, kids

Does it seem sad

Does it remind you of when

Shady grave

Come the summer it will be

Shady grave

Come the summer it will be

Well I can hear the cars just

A hundred feet behind

And I smell the rock salt in the air

And I know in my bones it isn’t fair

And the sun sets in the sleet to the side
