Текст песни Sea Horses (Graeme Connors) с переводом

What does an old cattleman see

When he stares at the ocean

From the balcony of his retirement villa on the coast

Is it the waves, the gulls or the glare

Or something else out there

To make his eyes squint

His face so dour

To be that silent

Hour after hour

What does an old cattleman see

In the first light of morning

Bare feet shuffling along the high water line

Is it a cuttle bone, driftwood or weed

He picks up occasionally

And studies a while

Deep in thought

Then places tenderly

Back in the water

Sea horses

Sea horses

Sea horses

Washed up on the sand

Instrumental…

What does an old cattleman see

In the last glow of evening

With his bowl of tobacco and his nip of over proof rum

Is it the streetlights, the moon or the stars

Or just the passing cars

What was it exactly

He thought he’d find

By leaving all

He knew behind — for

Sea horses

Sea horses

Sea horses

Washed up on the sand
