Текст песни My Life Is Sweet (Simon Joyner) с переводом

I met the drinker for a drink

Back when I was drinking everything but the kitchen sink

He said to meet him in the bar inside the Blackstone

Which was famous for leaving the lights on

I don’t know why he picked that place

It seems strange having other drinkers looking at your face

Now as you know some drinkers drink alone

They don’t want anyone else around

But like a trellis needs some ivy

Like a spotlight needs a body

This drinker needed company

He needed me

We sat together and we drank

He said «the night is always younger than you think»

He didn’t have much on his mind

He said «it's nice to have someone around when you unwind»

Well I said «anytime» and he said «thanks»

Then we sat in silence and we drank

I can’t recall the taxi home

Whether I was awake or alone

I felt the bed swallow my fall

Then I heard is voice pouring down the hall

And out into the streets and he was gone

And I was back where I started from

I got on my hands and on my knees

And I asked the floor for release

I was so heavy it felt like I was being squeezed

Through the cracks in the wood into the black underneath

So I closed my eyes and I was in the skies

I closed my eyes and I was flying

The taste of the air took me by surprise

It was like alcohol and cotton

For awhile I just flew around

And that whole ugly city was on the ground

Well it sure looked pretty on the ground

I flowed beneath me then

It was beneath

The night is beautiful (I am forgiven)

And my life is sweet
