Текст песни The Lines and the Tide (Anna Tivel) с переводом

An old box of tools and a bible, a coffee can half full of dreams

The scar of a name carved so careful, in the side of an evergreen

The sweet smell of diesel and lumber, and leather gloves worn by the wind

My hero of hoping and hunger, my one real man

Blue-eyed and out on the water, just watching the lines and the tide

But bring him home safe he’s my father, don’t go closing his blue eyes

A nickel for what you been thinking, a dollar is more than i own

A decade is too long to search for that highway back home

So maybe i’ll move to a new town, and start up a life on the edge

But then again maybe i’ll sit down and count how i’m blessed

Blue-eyed and out on the water, just watching the lines and the tide

But bring him home safe he’s my father, don’t go closing his blue eyes

And the river is mighty at midnight, the canyon just layers of time

You’re brighter to me than the moonlight, wider than the night sky

I think of you when i’m out walking, or under the hood of my car

The steady belief buried deep in the gold of your heart

And someday i’ll want for the answers, to questions that i never posed

Someday i’ll hold my own daughter the way you held yours

Blue-eyed and out on the water, just watching the lines and the tide

But bring him home safe he’s my father, don’t go closing his blue eyes
