Текст песни The Tide Falls Away (Dar Williams) с переводом

I walked a spiraling village one night

Drawn by the word of a bell or a light

Out on the flats saw it rose to a spire

It all becomes clear as the tide falls away

Parent and child and an ocean between

One is not heard and the other not seen

Too many bottles but each had a message inside

It all becomes clear as the tide falls away

It all becomes clear as the tide falls away

Lucky we are when the starts leave us singing

A hymn or a dirge when the surge of the ocean is gone, is gone

And the old woman just stares at her hands

So many heroes have crumbled to sand

All those cathedrals were merely by men

It all becomes clear as the tide falls away

It all becomes clear as the tide falls away

All falls away
