Текст песни Skeleton Woman (Heather Dale) с переводом

Old bones don’t sleep

Old bones don’t sleep

Old bones don’t sleep

They yearn to be once again dressed in the tears we weep

She remembered the sun from the world long ago

In the time before darkness and water

She soon became bone from the fish and the foam

In the fullness of time, we forgot her

A fisherman’s line through a hole in the ice

Caught this strangest of fish where she drifted

Salvation came down from the world far above

And the Skeleton Woman was lifted

She buried her teeth in the hem of his coat

As the fisherman tried to run past her

In terror he fled through the deepening gloom

With the rattle of bones chasing after

He cowered all night through the wind’s longing howl

From the monster he’d led to his home

But dawn showed the man that the creature he feared

Was twine all entangled in bone

In pity he wept, and the tears trickled down

From his eyes to the bones he regarded

From their heat she wove life and a young woman’s form

With a cry was her silence discarded

After ages uncounted of patience and hope

Was the Skeleton Woman rewarded
