Текст песни Underneath the Stars (Peter Case) с переводом

It’s cold outside, Lord help those

Lost tonight with the freezing toes

In the dark with the rain drenched clothes

She’s all the way down

The sky has cleared, stars are bright

Temperature’s gonna fall tonight

In the park looking for a light

She’s in a hospital gown

Underneath the stars, city by the sea

Headlights of the cars shine but no one sees

It’s another world, just five feet away

Look into her eyes, God bless is all she’ll say

Some drink wine, some are smokin' crack

This lady all alone wants none of that

In the park with a cart and sack

Afraid she’s gonna drown

A choice she made not long ago

Has led to this, how could you know?

The door slammed shut, her children go

To whatever life they’ve found

Underneath the stars, what’s it going to be?

In the house of mars, stranded by degrees

Hunger in the night, answered with a prayer

See the passing cars, there’s nobody there

Now the clergy have their doubts

Are they helping lazy layabouts?

Late at night the drunken louts

Terrify the town

The cops are young, well, they’re just kids

They don’t know about the skids

They just do what the gentry bids

From the other end of town

Underneath the stars, who will crack the seal?

Waitin' here to die, numbers on a wheel

Figures in the dark, crouch against the wall

Out here in the park there’s no one to call

Asleep in the park rain or shine

A thousand crows on the telephone line

Ask her how and she’ll say fine

She’s all the way down

Dew drops shot like cannonballs

Crash on paper prison walls

Her heart stops beating and her breathing stalls

She’s dyin' all alone

Underneath the stars, city by the sea

Headlights of the cars shine but no one sees

In another world, just five feet away

Look into her eyes, God bless is all she’d say

So now you ask what can I do?

See and know, they’re just like you

You could wind up in the blue

Beneath a pauper’s crown

Don’t be afraid, you’ll be surprised

If when you look into their eyes

You find a soulful feeling rise

You’re all the way down

Underneath the stars, city by the sea

Headlights of the cars shine but no one sees

In another world, just five feet away

Look into her eyes, God bless is all she’d say
