Текст песни Standing Water (Soul Asylum) с переводом

Down from the mountain

Running wild through the trees

A crystal glimmer

Rolling along so effortlessly

Trickled down from the country

But the city sucked it in and spit it out

Now the gravity pulls you

To the curbside now as it’s getting light

And it’s too soon too fast

And that ain’t ever gonna last

Standing water

Standing to close to the sun

With your rainbow runoff

You’re like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come

I was at low-life in the highlands

I was barely living up to the standard and demands

I had run out of reasons to let myself believe in anything

I wanted to phone home so many times but I’m never giving in

You know dreams never die

Woke up in a cold sweat

I was breathing still my heart wasn’t open yet

Dried out by the hot sun there’s never anywhere to run

Standing water

Standing too close to the sun

With your rainbow runoff

You’re like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come

There once was a country

With champagne rivers running wide

There was free land flying

Out the door in the middle of the night

And they were pushing every button

They were paving the way to the blight

They were breaking laws that they made themselves

Dictating what’s wrong and what’s right

So proud so strong

But that don’t mean you’re never wrong

It’s like standing water

Standing too close to the sun

With your rainbow runoff

You’re like a sitting duck waiting for the summer rain to come
