Текст песни Gone (Slaid Cleaves) с переводом

I was going on twelve, she was just nine

Passing round her little valentines

With the devil dancin' there in her eyes

Teasin' someday she would be my bride

I said, «You're just a little girl, now go on»

And as soon as I turned around, there she was. .. gone

There she was, gone. I started thinkin' bout her night and day

I started singing a young love song. There she was, gone

Out of school now, and she’s my girl

But a restless soul needs to see the world

I search for a promise in those dancing eyes

Would she settle down by my side

She whispers in my ear, «Babe, you can’t hold on.»

So I opened up my arms, and there she was. .. gone

There she was, gone. I thought about her night and day

I was singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone

Now we’re Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own

Growing like a weed in this happy home

She’s got that devil in her mama’s blue eyes

But no one realizes how time flies

Until the house is still, no more little girl’s songs

One day we turned around, and there she was. .. gone

There she was, gone. Oh I think about her every day

I’m singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone

I’m an old man now, she’s still my girl

Spends her days in a long gone world

There’s a darker devil hiding in her eyes

Telling her, she’s someone else’s wife

She looks at me and says, «Mister, what’s wrong?»

And right before my eyes, there she is. .. gone

There she was, gone. I was searching for her every day

I was singing a worried man song. There she was, gone

There she was, gone. I’ll be thinking 'bout her all my days

I’ll be singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone
