Willie Nelson - Marie (tribute to Townes Van Zandt)
Marie Lyrics
Artist: Townes Van Zandt
Album: No deeper blue
I stood in line and left my name
took about six hours or so
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
said they'd let me know
I put in my time till the Pocono line
shut down two years ago
I was staying at the mission till I met Marie
now I can't stay there no more
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man
to move some old cars around
maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out
van and do a little settlin' down
Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride
and the junkyard's a pretty good ways
that job's about a half week old besides
it'd be gone now anyway
Unemployment said I got no more checks
and they showed me to the hall
my brother died in Georgia some time ago
I got no one left to call
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge
a little short on food that's all
Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat
we're headed down into fall
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
hustled up a little dough
but I got drunk and I woke up rolled
a couple of months ago
they got my harp and they got my dollar
them low life so and so's
harps cost money and I ain't got it
it's my own fault I suppose
The Pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin'
two freights everyday
if it was just me I'd be headed south
but Marie can't catch no train
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby,
says we gotta wait and see
in my heart I know it's a little boy
hope he don't end up like me
Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file
I gotta stand in line again
I want to kill him but I just say no
I had enough of that line my friend
I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold
I'm feelin' too low down to lie
I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth
hope she don't break down and cry
Marie she didn't wake up this morning
she didn't even try
she just rolled over and went to heaven
my little boy safe inside
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them
caught a Chesapeak on the fly
Marie will know I'm headed south
so's to meet me by and by
Marie will know I'm headed south
so to meet me by and by
Mark Bernes - Тёмная ночь
Темная ночь, только пули свистят по степи,
Только ветер гудит в проводах, тускло звезды мерцают.
В темную ночь ты, любимая, знаю, не спишь,
И у детской кроватки тайком ты слезу утираешь.
Как я люблю глубину твоих ласковых глаз,
Как я хочу к ним прижаться сейчас губами!
Темная ночь разделяет, любимая, нас,
И тревожная, черная степь пролегла между нами.
Верю в тебя,
В дорогую подругу мою,
Эта вера от пули меня
Темной ночью хранила...
Радостно мне,
Я спокоен в смертельном бою:
Знаю, встретишь с любовью меня,
Чтоб со мной ни случилось.
Смерть не страшна,
С ней не раз мы встречались в степи.
Вот и сейчас
Надо мною она кружится.
Ты меня ждешь
И у детской кроватки не спишь,
И поэтому, знаю, со мной
Ничего не случится!
Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine, chill you to the bone
'Cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
The heat of your breath, carving shadows on the mist
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed
A broken dream haunting in your sleep
And hiding in your smile a secret you must keep
Love cuts you deep
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as God made wine, you can't wrap your arms around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold Autumn winds cut sharp as a knife
And in the dark for me, you're the candle flame that flickers to life
Love breaks the wings of a butterlfy on a wheel
Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Wise men say all is fair in love and war
There's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn, crushed like the flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Solomon Burke (album " Nashville " ) - Does My Ring Burn Your Finger
autori: Buddy i Julie Miller
When I gave you my heart and it was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name and the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger? Did my love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?
I remember your words and I can't keep from cryin
I could never believe that your kisses were lyin'
Was there somethin' from the past buried in a shallow grave?
Did you think that it was too far gone to save?
Please tell me baby, please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me, how
Now it's just me and the night and I'm so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark here for my dearly departed
Did my ring burn your finger? Did my love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?
