Текст песни Notes for a Cowardly Lion (Blind Willies) с переводом

Standing in the water

Burning in the rain

Waiting for the moon to break

For the lights to change

You always keep your hat on

But never like to talk

Except to tell me that we shouldn’t wait

It’s better just to walk

And watch out for the taxis

Speeding past the curb

You won’t say that they’re evil

Just a curse upon the world

Take your time

Wake up from the fever

That was low at first

But made you a believer

Everyone who knows you

Says «You'll come back again.»

But they don’t read the paper

They’re not worried about the end

Everyday at noon

When the sirens start to whine

You crawl under a table

And disconnect the lines

Whether it’s the mailman

Or the ghost of ancient Rome

You’re not ready for a message

Or to give up all you own

Like a broken circus tiger

Living on the road

In a cage it’s come to think of

Fondly as a home

Take your time

We can drink wine together

From a bottle of courage

For the Cowardly Lion

Sitting in the twilight

Staring into space

Tracing every shooting star

That’s falling out of place

Keep thinking that I see you

In the faces of the moon

Drifting gracefully

Cross a field of broken stone
