Текст песни Newport '65 (Danny Schmidt) с переводом

You danced with the bar girls and sang with the band

And you poured every round through the holes in your hands

Til their cups runneth over with the blood of the man

On the lips of the faithful and mean

With a love that was fierce and obscene

You were the shepherd and they were the sheep

And they marched in a line with their backs to the beat

Til you taught them to follow the souls of their feet

Then they trampled your words in the grass

With a mighty wind thick at their backs

The path of the prophet is crooked and cruel

When every false turn means a fall from the truth

And every new road’s a betrayal of proof

They’ll scream and they’ll squeeze you for more

Of the visions you showed them before

Come gather round people wherever you roam

And admit that you’ve stripped your own god to the bone

And accept it that soon you’ll be praying alone

Like you never had listened at all

As if you never had listened at all

So you asked them, at last, if they’d lend you a hand

And of course they would give you their last grain of sand

So you begged them to kneel at the sins of their friends

And they fell and they wept for their loss

As you climbed them and stepped to the cross
