Текст песни Love (The Barren Desert) (Bernie Taupin) с переводом

You went East to New York, and I stayed in L.A.

You wanted a brownstone and I wanted my own way

You were drawn by the neon, when I wanted to play

Just wanted to play

I guess I’m California, and you’re just Broadway

I tuned out on romance, pushed it to one side

I don’t believe in happiness when love is genocide

And love, the barren desert, we’ve all come to thirst

Loyalty’s a mirage, caring just a curse

Storms keep blowing through the bones of another man

And the sands of time keep slipping through

Hearthless empty hands

And they say get out, get out of the house

I say I take it as it comes along

Get a slice of life on the streets tonight

I’ll just fit in where I feel I belong

I can feel like a martyr, you feel like a stone

You danced with an actor, me I danced all alone

Hearts are captured easy and you had mine so long, so long

I guess you’re Louis Vouitton, and I’m just Tuscon

I can’t change my habits, I guess that’s what counts

But he who rides the tiger, never dismounts
