Текст песни Horse Walking (Professional Sound Effects Group) с переводом

I looked out across

The river today

I saw a city in the fog

And an old church tower

Where the seagulls play

Saw the sad shire horses

Walking home in the sodium light

Saw two priests on the ferry

October geese on a cold winter’s night

And all this time

The river flowed

Endlessly

To the sea

Two priests came round

Our house tonight

One young, one old

To offer prayers for the dying

To serve the final rite

One to learn, one to teach

Which way the cold wind blows

Fussing and flapping in priestly black

Like a murder of crows

And all this time

The river flowed

Endlessly

To the sea

If I had my way

I’d take a boat from the river

And I’d bury the old man

I’d bury him at sea

Blessed are the poor

For they shall inherit the earth

One is better to be poor

Than a fat man in the eye of a needle

As these words were spoken

I swear I hear the old man laughing

What good is a used up world,

And how could it be worth having?

And all this time

The river flowed

Endlessly,

To the sea.

All this time

The river flowed

Father, if Jesus exists,

Then how come he never lived here?

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Teachers told us

The Romans built this place

They built a wall and a temple on the edge of the

Empire garrison town

They lived and they died

They prayed to their gods

But the stone gods did not make a sound

And their empire crumbled

Till all that was left

Were the stones the workmen found

And all this time the river flowed

In the falling light of a northern sun

If I had my way

I’d take a boat from the river

Men go crazy in congregations

They only get better one by one

One by one

One by one, by one

One by one

I looked out across

The river today

I saw a city in the fog

And an old church tower

Where the seagulls play

Saw the sad shire horses

Walking home in the sodium light

Two priests on the ferry

October geese on a cold winter’s night
