Blue Valentines
(Tom Waits)
Она шлёт мне грустные валентинки из Филаделфии
Ко дню рождения того человека, которым я некогда был
И они похожи скорее на ордер на мой арест
Как полузабытые сны, словно галька в моём ботинке
Зачем я храню это безумие в ящике ночного столика
Был бы счастливей без них с разбитым незрячим сердцем
Спящим под лацканом пиджака...
Dm E
She sends me blue valentines
Dm E
All the way from Philadelphia
Dm E
To mark the anniversary
Am A7
Of someone that I used to be
Dm E
And it feels like ther's a warrant
Am A7
Is out for my arrest
Dm E Am A7
Baby, you got me checkin in my rearview mirror
Dm E
And I'm always on the run
Am A7
Thats why I changed my name
H7 E
But I didn't think you'd ever find me here
To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Is the thistle in the kiss
And the burgler that can break a roses neck
It's the tatooed broken promise
That I hide beneath my sleeve
I only see you every time I turn my back
She sends me blue valentines
Though I try to remain at large
They're insisting that our love
Must have a eulogy
Why do I save all of this madness
In the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders, daby I know
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel
She sends me my blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I could never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a lot of whiskey
To take this nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
And I only die just a little more on each St. Valentines day
But you remember that I promised I would write...
These blue valentines
Blue valentines
Blue valentines
Не знаю почему, но я часто вспоминаю один пивной бар на окраине моего района.
Бетонный зал, занавешенный стеклянной стеной, представлявший собой подбрюшье
универсама и одновременно подножие вино-водочного. Народ называл это место
Залом Ожидания. Должно быть за красные и синие пластмассовые креслица,
расставленные повсюду. Здесь можно было услышать старые и новые истории
о слепой карликовой собачке, о девчонках с оружейной улицы, об Иисусе сделанном
из шоколада, больной печени и разбитом сердце. Но чаще всего о теплом пиве
и холодных женщинах. Однажды, когда я задремал на приступочке, женщина шепнула
мне - ты никогда не вернешься домой...
