Текст песни His Father (The Sleeping Tree) с переводом

His father is passing away

and he coughs all night long

my mother won’t kiss me goodbye

for on the same bed we stay

for on the same bed we lie

but there’s one thing I can’t recall

there’s only one answer I’d love to know

are we running away?

will we make it through the gate?

will we run, run, run away?

my friend keeps on saying that she’s great

and she says everything’s fine everything’s great

but her man doesn’t look quite the same

'cause he’s down on talent and pride needles and shame

are neglected responsibilities

what me and my people run from?

distracted from topicalities

are we losing the sense of our role?
