Текст песни Evergreen Cassette (Goldspot) с переводом

If I mistook

The sun for a mango

I’d fly up there and reach for it too

It’s the story of something older

And bigger than me and you

And you told it

In a letter

In the form of an evergreen cassette

And I played it

In the morning

Till after the sun would set

See, mother I believe

That half of everything I hear is true

Between you and me

I believe the anecdotes too

In the veranda

In the midnight heat

Cousins and I would wait for the rain

Singing songs about America

And then the first drops came

So don’t worry

Even though you were

Oceans and continents away

I heard evergreen hits, lullabies

And everything you had to say

See, mother I believe

That half of everything I hear is true

Between you and me

I believe the anecdotes too

If they get you through

If time, time could be bent with the drop of a tear

You’d see it rained in our house for a year

This is the sound of the beating you’d hear

All the tapes we’ve taped over all of our hopes and our fears

The open veranda’s been flooding for years

I always hope that I’d see you here

But time, time can’t be bent with the drop a tear

And though you say you missed out all of those years

Your voice on the tapes always kept us near

See, mother I believe

That half of everything I hear is true

Between you and me

I believe in everything you do
