Текст песни Ducks and Drakes (A Seated Craft) с переводом

Pillows are pebbles and you are a stone’s throw from sleep

Your body skimming circles on the sheets

bone tired, the lone fire is out

but the water won’t break

preferring to play ducks and drakes

than let your weight through

than let the current take you

thought and light are the levers that keep the levee high

and on the crest of the creek

the rest of the sleepless lie

limbs like a lovers strewn on a funeral pyre

but the water won’t rise

preferring to lie like a dry lullaby unsung

until the morning comes

and your ducks and your drakes

are all pieces of eight

flung with the latent strength of the numb

but at the break of the day

the bank’s still caked with clay

and the lake remains unswum

row, row, row, row to where the water is thin

lo, lo, lo behold what’s below its silver skin

oh, oh, oh, lady of the lake let them in

let her in and let him in

take them under and let them swim

pillows are pebbles and you are a stone’s throw from sleep
