Текст песни Too Long In The Wasteland (James McMurtry) с переводом

Hear the trucks on the highway and the ticking of the clocks

There’s a ghost of a moon in the afternoon

Bullet holes in the mailbox

Bullet holes in the mailbox

Key holes in my mind

Too long in the wasteland

Too long in the wasteland

I’m fallin' behind

She said, «Why don’t you come see me when the sun goes down?

It’ll be just like the old days when I used to let you hang around»

Well I don’t know, I might not speak the language anymore

Too long in the wasteland

Too long in the wasteland

Will close some doors

The people in the village watch their children play

At the sight of a stranger they call the kids away

«Just leave that man alone,» I hear the mother say

Too long in the wasteland

Too long in the wasteland

That’s what made him that way

Well, I hadn’t intended to bend the rules

But whiskey don’t make liars, it just makes fools

So I didn’t mean to say it, but I meant what I said

Too long in the wasteland

Too long in the wasteland

Must’ve gone to my head

Jet trail in the sunset a long way away

Cuttin' 'cross an horizon at the edge of the day

And it calls out, «Jimmy, come fly away!»

But I’ve been too long in the wasteland

Too long in the wasteland

I believe I’ll have to stay

Too long in the wasteland

Too long in the wasteland

Gonna have to stay

There’s a ghost of a moon in the afternoon

Bullet holes in the mailbox
