Текст песни The Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Jack Hardy) с переводом

Yellow-billed cuckoo sittin' on that fence

Looking both ways like he don’t have no sense

Sense of direction and sense of trust

But he knows something in this land of dust

And I sat lookin' in her deep blue eyes

At her dark black hair and her little white lies

Lies of contrition and lies of deceit

Lying to herself and lying to me

(chorus:)

Has he heard you singing that wavering song

That don’t know the difference 'tween right and wrong

Has he heard you wishing that you were free

Like the yellow-billed cuckoo that follows me

A distant storm lightening up the sky

Frightening the horses that are ready to ride

Leaves on the trees turning inside-out

Gonna break loose, no shadow of doubt

(repeat chorus)

Wildflowers bloom on a little bit of rain

A little bit of hope on a desolate plain

Wildflowers wither underneath the strain

Of the wildfire burning up another man’s name

(repeat chorus)
