Greg Brown - Lullaby

Tekst :

I look at you, and I think of bed,
You move so cool and freely,
And I know what s goin on in your head,
Oh, babe, you make me sleepy.

We ve been married all these years,
We know each other deeply
And oh my dear, oh my dear,
You still make me sleepy.

The children, they are nearly grown,
And ain t they turned out sweetly,
Tonight they re out, and we re alone,
And, oh babe, you make me sleepy.

I know your stories, you know mine,
Ah, but tell that one again to me,
About that room and the red, red wine,
Oh, babe, it makes me sleepy.

You make me feel like lying down,
Let down your hair completely,
Ah, when you put on that old nightgown,
Oh, babe, you make me sleepy.

And in your arms I sleep so fine,
So well do you meet me,
And you can wake me any time,
Oh, babe, I ain t that sleepy.

    No reason

    Ever heard my suffer
    I wonder why, is this real
    What have you done to me
    For no reason at all

    And I feared
    You don t seem
    Just gave up
    Why...do you care

    Everything is lost
    All hope is gone
    And I even won t complain
    For this is...

    Time

    Time, this is what you need
    Time, this is what you need
    Time, this is what you need
    Time, this is what you need

    Behind lines

    Sleep can t catch me
    These deformed pictures taunting my mind
    Recycling a non stop visible vortex
    Snapshots creating a Polaroid past

    Seeing minutes turning into hours
    Nights turning back to days
    The light I see is hurting me
    Not going to struggle on this way
    Greed was your only entertainment
    Still hoping for an erased trail to find
    Growing...

    Odpływamy

    Odpływamy za najdalsze z mórz
    nie zachęcaj mnie bym został tu
    na zakręcie – bo jest wzięcie

    Odpływamy, bo już dosyć mam
    nie chcę żadnych szczytów i sławy bram
    chcę wolności i miłości

    Popłyniemy tam, bo mamy wiatr…
    po co nam zdobywać co daje świat
    wieża Babel, ta wieża Babel

    Popłyniemy, bo już dosyć mam
    nie chcę żadnych szczytów i...

    Better love

    Lately I toss and turn at night
    I hold my pillow very tight
    Wake up to find the covers on the floor
    I can t go on since you ve been gone
    Sometimes I don t know what I m living for
    See I don t know what he told you bout the...
