Текст песни From Holly Hill (Joel Martin from Toledo) с переводом

My New Year’s acquiescence

12-month-long therapy session

Image in water, here’s my first reflection

That I don’t know what to be

And another completed trip around the sun don’t change a thing

There’s just a couple things to hold

But they’re always moving far too fast, and when I have them I let go

Floating further in the outer cold

The moon’s shifting phases

She’s shifting faces

Says, «up there’s so consistent, but down here certainty evades us»

And she don’t know who she is

And no crab-shaped constellation makes that any different

And she’s running out of time

If the sand would just stop shifting, she’d crawl out into the light

But the nighttime lasts for days sometimes

He says we’re building toward nothing

He’s a building that’s crumbling

With loosening rivets, he could blow away with the slightest wind

And he don’t know what to say

And no amount of strangers takes the loneliness away

And he’s trying to stay awake

In his dreams he kicks a folding chair, makes a ceiling fan escape

Brother, please stay

Here comes the impatience of the dawn

Aided by the light pollution from freeway truck stops

Guess nothing real should last too long

The ice will melt from every mountain top

And then no honest soul escapes

Being torn out of the sky and pulled down toward the waves

Suspended in between the magnet and her solemn sway

Somewhere off in the distance, I heard a voice solemnly say

«Time is a broom behind us, sweeping our footsteps away…

Time is a broom behind us sweeping our footsteps away…»

There’s just a couple things to hold

But they’re always moving far too fast, and when I have them I let go

And I don’t know why we’re here

Lying on the rocks, the river ferries off our fears

And I’m drifting off to sleep

Don’t know what’s next but rising breath, and for now that’s all I need
