Текст песни The Faces of Love: If you were coming in the Fall (Jake Heggie) с переводом

If you were coming in the Fall

I’d brush the Summer by

With half a smile, and half a spurn

As Housewives do, a Fly

If I could see you in a year

I’d wind the months in balls

And put them each in separate Drawers

For fear the numbers fuse

If only Centuries, delayed

I’d count them on my hand

Subtracting, til my fingers dropped

Into Van Dieman’s Land

If certain, when this life was out

That yours and mine, should be

I’d toss it yonder, like a Rind

And take Eternity

But, now, uncertain of the length

Of this, that is between

It goads me, like the Goblin Bee

That will not state its sting
