Текст песни Eight Long Months (Zach Winters) с переводом

Eight long months with nothing showing

With not one coming, and in the swelter nothing growing

July’s heat brought us to our knees

But we’re still crawling

When the Spring came with rain

It came all at once in a down pour

And the hail came with

With all its knives & it’s fists and left our garden sore

Their heads looked down

& their backs bent over like orphans

And I wondered if what I planted in the ground

Had any chance of becoming what I’m hoping

Nine long months — we just returned from a wedding

Things like these make me think of where we’re heading

The heart’s trapeze has no comfort of the netting

But the tears that are shed in a drought

Are more more precious for the letting

And the fall came gentle

And the blossoms that were wrinkled began to open

And the August that had pressed on us so hard

September had broken

So prune it off — we’ll see

Or pull them up if no fruit is setting

Because the Fall is here

And because the garden’d be fairer for replanting

December comes — and a baby is awakened

And frost may fall, but our hope wasn’t taken

And the summer earth was dormant

But the winter fruit is persevering
