Текст песни: Bowling in the Hills + перевод

These bags of shoes and soiled shirts all lined up in the hall--

Who discarded these? Who discarded these?

So many rusted bikes outside, you couldn’t count them all--

Who abandoned these? Who abandoned these?

Fingerpainted works of art upon the kitchen wall--

Who created these? Who created these?

Mantles filled with victories for someone playing ball--

Whose awards are these? Whose awards are these?

He wonders where his life has gone

What was yesterday?

Used to have a family here

And this is where they’d stay

Please forgive him, he’s been bowling in the hills

Just to get away

Killing time with Hudson’s men, who had him out until

The time had slipped away

And, early in the morning, when he comes down the hill

With a creak in his bones

Killing time with Hudson’s men, who had him out until

He finds his child’s grown

He finds his child’s grown

This half-built fence, uncut grass, work left undone--

Whose chores are these? Whose chores are these?

The stains on the clothes, and the table set for one--

Whose plates are these? Whose plates are these?

He wonders where his life has gone

What’s going on?

Used to have his family here

Wonders where they’ve gone

These visions of a hurried past and expedited fate--

Whose dreams are these? Whose dreams are these?

I’ll leave the slumber and ninepins to Rip

'Cause I prefer to wait; yes, I prefer to wait

And when my child’s old enough, I’ll take him to the hills

For ten frames and a drink; ten frames and a drink

I’ll make my child promise not to grow too fast

And I’ll promise not to blink

(final chorus)

Please forgive me, I’ve been bowling in the hills

Just to get away

On summer afternoons, you’ll hear a rumble in the hills

But here is where I’ll stay

Here is where I’ll stay
