Текст песни Night Rains (Janis Ian) с переводом

I have seen the starlight fading

Into echoes on the floor

And I dreamed the stars parading

Like tin soldiers on the shore

The city casts no shadow now

At midnight, all the whores

Come out and dance with darkness

And the night rains pour

Moonbeams gather dust

The cobwebs rust into the ground

Windows stare at the open air

And the sparrows dare to drown

Death becomes a debutante

Stranded in her gown

Branded like a leper

And the night rains down

By morning all the debutantes

And the virgins have their fill

It’s a signal to the vagabonds

Who come in for the kill

Me, I must be lucky now

For the sky is with me still

It’s written on the wind

That the night rains chill

I dreamed the sun was falling

Into darkness, and I ran

Into the night was endless

Slipping through my famished hand

And the sky was like a furnace

I could not see to stand

Committed to its emptiness

The night rains sand

I have seen the starlight fading

Into echoes on the floor

And I dreamed the stars parading

Like tin soldiers on the shore

The city casts no shadow now

At midnight, all the whores

Come out and dance with darkness

And the night rains pour
