Текст песни People You Were Going To (Peter Hammill) с переводом

Your father has just left your mother

Gone off to live with his latest lover;

She sits there, just staring

So you get back to your own flat

Because the atmosphere in there

Is so bad you can’t bear it

And the people you were going to America with

Just left on the dawn plane

Without you

Without you

The people in the downstairs flat

Are no longer there now because they left

The gas tap on, they’re all dead

So you’ve no-one left to talk to

You just lie there in melancholy

Half-naked on your unmade bed

And the people you were going to Africa with

Just left on the Southern Star

Without you

Without you

Yes, the haze that’s been forming round your window-panes

Is now protracted and poisoned

And you cannot feel a portion of the world outside

Can you imagine the way you’d feel

If all these things had happened to you

And the doctor says you’re dying?

That is the way that I feel now

On finding that your love belongs

To someone else and not I

My chance of heaven has just blown away

Upon a passing cloud and there is nothing that I can do

Without you

The people you were going to

Have left, gone far away

And you’re lonely
