Текст песни Goodbye, Darkness (The Scourge Of The Sea) с переводом

In truth, I had the perfect face

X-ray eyes and hammer hands

Your summer eyes were full of grass

And letters to the common man

But I leapt a building every day to keep the town from burning down

And laid low in the lamplight for a touch, a sight, a smell, a sound

The water’s tainted by the sky

The teenage girls, by God most high

There’s nothing left here to defend, so

Goodbye, darkness, my old friend

Say, have the days surrendered to

The nights and knives and empty rooms?

Our boredom crimes can run us through

To fold our hands in open tombs

But I ran the river to the sea on top of waves and alcohol

Still all the while, my hammer heart thrashed on my ribs and broke my fall

The soil is tainted by our blood

The sidewalks by the western mud

There’s nothing left here to defend, so

Goodbye, darkness, my old friend

The city cries to sleep at night

And leaks my name down dirty streets

I want to love the fire light

On faces that I burn to meet

But I lost my love to the brown paper bag, and I tied a jackal to my leg

And prayed a miracle might come and begged I wouldn’t have to beg

But my baby’s tainted by my tongue

The cigarette smoke by my lungs

There’s nothing left here to defend, so

Goodbye, darkness, my old friend
