Текст песни Only Knows (Gordon Vincent) с переводом

I went out looking for a muse

Some dirty angel I could use

I found her by the highway in some little bar

She was holding out for hire

I said I couldn’t buy her

But with some talking and persuading

I got her into my car

We went riding down the road

I was ready to reload

She was laughing in the back seat

Yelling out the window

So I left her standing

In the foothills of the morning

It was the middle of missouri

Three in the morning

Conoco was standing like a city on the hill

Always running, not arriving

I was driving to keep on driving

But I had to stop for gas

And take a piss

I walked in through the door

There were three kids with a porn

I walked down to the bathroom

Like I’d been there before

I was climbing the walls of the morning

Only knows,

Rain don’t fall on this dry land

Only knows,

What goes on around here

Sometimes the truth is hard to find

It’s like walking a straight line

When the road ain’t very true

You haven’t been down here before

And the drinking just don’t drown it

The women just arouse it

Til you wake up out of breath

And headed for the door

And then, one day, it don’t start

One day you fall apart

And you’re sifting through the ashes

Trying to find a spark

And you’re lost in the deep blue minutes just before the morning

Only knows,

Rain don’t fall on this dry land

Only knows,

What goes on around here

At the tail end of a long run

That took me higher than lower

But left me feeling pretty low

Here at the end

I shut down on the shoulder

The sun was rising over boulder

And I was hoping that tomorrow

Might turn out to be my friend

I fell asleep to dream

I was lying by a stream

The sun was never setting

The whole damn world was green

I was sleeping in the arms —

Down in the cradle of the morning.

Only knows,

Rain don’t fall on this dry land

Only knows,

What goes on around here
