Текст песни Empty Afternoon of Summer Longing (John Hartford) с переводом

As I look at you I wonder what would happen

If I brushed away the curtains of your hair

And quickly kissed you

And stumbling for some words to say

My mind goes spinning on it’s way

With images of future days to miss you

And the sun is easing down as it grows later

And soon I know you’ll rise and say farewell

And here we are imprisoned

In the empty afternoon of summer longing

Across this coffee cup I see a face

Now cloaked in mystery

While pondering this peace that could be violence

The night is fast approaching

And it’s emptiness surrounded us

I’m pressed to make a move or turn in silence

You slowly smile across at me

I wonder if you’re free to be in love

Am I too blind to see while hungry?

Or when you’re resting by my side

In nothing but the night to hide

The lips that say I’m satisfied it’s worth it

And an hour becomes a flickering of an eyelash

An undecided moment out of sight

And here we are imprisoned

In the empty afternoon of summer longing

You may be many miles away

Just living out some broken day

While just a picture of you stays and dances

The shadows streak the plaster wall

I’m nervous as I sit and stall

And wonder should I reach and take my chances

And night comes sneaking up on simple daydreams

I’ll curse myself before the morning breaks

Yet here we are imprisoned

In the empty afternoon of summer longing
