Текст песни The Old Mans Gait (Tindersticks) с переводом

Neither kind or unkind

Neither absent or present

Just a reflection

It’s just in the way we walk

I walk to my father’s metre

I walk with the old man’s gait

Down past the gasometer

And through the estate

Those miscalculated steps

He’s not so steady on his pins

Those miscalculations

He was never ready with his affection

He walks with my grandfather’s falter

He walks with the old man’s gait

Not that he ever knew him

Just some guy staring at the school fence

Those miscalculated steps

None of us were so good at sums

Those miscalculations

With never the time to make our corrections

And I lifted you up to get a better view

Your hip pressed against my cheek

And your arm fell over the top of my head

Your fingers playing with my ear

And we looked at the same thing

And you were my boy

And then I sat you on the wall

Leaned down on my elbows to be by your side

And you pointed and you told me of everything you could see

Those miscalculated steps

None of us were so good at sums

Those miscalculations

With never the time to make our corrections

Neither kind or unkind

Neither absent or present

Just a reflection

It’s just in the way we walk
