Текст песни Out Into the Snow (Simon Joyner) с переводом

I’ve been living in a room where the rafters shook

Where the trains pass through the moonlight

Dusts rain down, cover my books

Even the bricks crumble to the floor in a landslide

Remember the caller from a pay phone somewhere

In the heart, broken, drunk

Muffled voices and shattered glasses

Toasted all the heads that were not yet hung

Yours was getting low

So I stepped out into the snow

Cut through the car wash across the street

Where a man cleaned the salt from his tires

Passed through the grocery store parking lot

Where open hands bummed nickels for fires

They sang «have you anything to keep a belly warm?»

On the coldest night of the year

I gave my change to a bucket of steam

Said he had to get the hell out of here

Before he froze

And I stepped out into the snow

Found you flickering by lightbulbs

Your new shadows swayed in the concrete

Said baby it’s true

You get cold so you look for heat

Everywhere I’ve been is empty and thin

And swallowed by the bay

Standing too low

And I stepped out into the snow

Verse from the Bible, memorized in childhood

Fell from your tongue to the car keys

Asked me if it mattered, everything had a pattern

You can’t stand far enough back to see it

I helped you to bed, then I washed my face

Covered my hands over your kitchen sink

Then I cracked the window and let some pressure escape

Just in time to hear a siren scream

You’d better go

And I stepped into the snow

Shed my clothes and killed the lights

And laid in my bed staring at the rooftop

This is as quiet as the city gets

Shooting neon all over our cracked windshields

I don’t remember what happened next

I’m afraid it took me by surprise

The night rolled in, it felt dark and then

I guess I closed my eyes

Just that note

And I stepped out into the snow

Dreamed I was a school of fish

I dreamed I was a mother nursing a child

Dreamed I was the long black train

Rattling through the countryside

Dreamed I was reborn in a tornado closet

In the mason jar’s cobweb

Took some time to find my way out of the basement

The climb was slow

And I stepped back out into the snow
