Lyriikka ›

Tämmönen tällä kertaa. Mitään sävellystä tähän ei ole vielä olemassa, ihme kyllä. Kirjoitin nämä sanat äsken 15 minuutissa, en tiedä mistä tulivat. Kommentoikaa, pliis.
 
Long, long road (while the light finally dies)
 
ItŽs a long, long road.
Just as long as my heart is cold.
I`ve driven through rain and snow.
I`ve driven past cities and one horse towns.
 
I met Susannah in a motel
somewhere very far.
She wore huge glasses and drove
an ancient wreck of a car.
The first time I saw her there
I knew she wouldn`t pass
a nice, sharp man who`d say
"I think you could use some extra cash".
 
They found her a couple of months later
from a shallow desert grave
just a few dozen feet from the highway..
 
When I feel the wind blowing
I whisper her name.
"Susannah, Susannah",
you could hear me say.
I really couldn`t tell why,
for what`s gone is gone.
And where she is now,
she can`t hear no one.
 
But I did hear Catherine, as she
passed me in the street and said "hey"
not too far from where you live,
just a couple of blocks away.
I loved her dirty clothes,
her green eyes and everything.
So I left her where she could see the sun
and hear the cathedral choir sing.
 
It took a while before a schoolkid saw the magpies
on top of her body, picking her eyes,
right near that church where she used to go..
 
When I see the sun go down
I whisper her name.
"Catherine, Catherine",
you could hear me say.
I really can`t tell why,
for what`s gone is gone.
And where she is now,
she can`t hear no one.
 
Susannah wasn`t the first for me,
and Catherine won`t be the last.
There are ropes to tie, guns to fire,
punches to throw, and eyes to behold
while the light in them
finally fades and dies.
 
It`s a long, long road.
Just as long as my heart is cold.
There are wonders to see
and stories to tell.
Past mountains and meadows,
through heaven and hell.
