Текст песни Highway Girl (Nikki Sudden) с переводом

All the highways that you’ve walked

And all the poets with whom you’ve talked

They could never, ever corrupt you.

All the highwaymen you’ve loved

They tried to hold you with kid gloves

You’re far, so far above any of those.

You always took the highways

While I walked the low

Ev’rytime I’d wear the clothes you’d sew.

You went out dancing round the park

I tried to keep you from the dark

All the ladies in waiting will wait there for the rest of their lives.

All the countesses and all the queens

The redheads and rinsed-out blondes

They’re just gonna, gonna have to wait their turn.

'Cause all the dreams I had last year

They seem to have disappeared

They’ve vanished with every turn of the page.

All the highways that I’ve known

All the girls that must atone

All the risks I ever took when I was young.

Oh, we’ll walk round London Town

By the post-office, the pillars and crowns

Oh, I tell you, 'cause you were born to be with me.

Oh, come on baby blue

You know this song’s for you

Oh, tell me, oh, tell me it ain’t so.

Oh, come on baby blue

You know this one’s for you

And I tell you

Wouldn’t tell your mother or any other

You know it’s true now.

All the postcards that you sent

Oh, God knows where they went

I found them, found them down by Manor House.

And I send you fond regards

From a friend at Scotland Yard

Who I caught investigating me.

All the highways that you’ve walked

And all the riff-raff with whom you’ve talked

They could never, never corrupt you.

All the highwaymen you loved

They tried to hold you with velvet gloves

Oh, they’ll never, never give up on you

Oh, baby blue.

Oh, come on baby blue

Let’s go and switch a few

Or anything, anything that comes our way.

So tell me one more time

'fore we finish off the wine

I wrote it so you would know.
