Текст песни Instant Coffee Blues (Guy Clark) с переводом

He washed all the road dirt

From his face and from his neck

And sat down at her table

And she picked up his check

And she took him home for reasons

That she did not understand

And him, he had the answers

But did not play his hand

For him he knew the taste of this wine very well

It all goes down so easy but the next day is hell

Morning

«Man was I drunk,»

She whispered in the shower

While he lay there and smoked his way there

Through the final hour

And she felt wholly empty

Like she’d felt it every time

And he was feeling just the same

Accept he was trying to make it rhyme

Time was of the essence so they both did their best

To meet up in the kitchen feeling fully dressed

She just had to go to work

And he just had to go

And she knew where and he knew how

To blow it off and so

They shot the breeze quite cavalier

To the boiling of the pot

And sang the Instant Coffee Blues

And never fired a shot

And him he hit the driveway with his feelings in a case

And her she hit the stop light and touched up her face

So you tell them the difference between caring and not

And that it’s all done with mirrors, lest they forgot

I said it’s all done with mirrors, of which they have none

To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
