Текст песни: A World Away + перевод

I’m a world away, right outside your window

I got money in my pocket and I Brought a nice bottle of wine

I think I’m on the list, do you see my name there?

I’ve come a long hard way and I’m lookin' for a better time

Oh well I tried to get over and I tried to get across

Now I’m standin' at the door but the door is locked

I can see those pretty gals dosey-doe

I can hear that music from the radio

I’m a world away

I’m a world away

Standin' at the gates

And I see her face

But I’m a world away

Hey it’s a real nice place, do you need some help here?

I can sweep, I can paint, I can play a little violin

If you let me stay, oh you won’t need to worry

I’ll be the life of the party if you just let me slip on in

Oh girl I wade through the river and I marched through the sand

Now I standin' at the gates of the Promised Land

Oh but you say that you gotta leave 'em locked up tight

If you please, mister, I can sleep out here tonight

I’m a world away

I’m a world away

Standin' at the gates

With my suitcase

But I’m a world away

How can you know the hard times I’ve had?

Kept in and almost left for dead

I got a needle streakin' in my veins

I’ve come to

I’m a world away, right outside your window

I got money in my pocket and I Brought a nice bottle of wine

I think I’m on the list, do you see my name there?

I’ve come a long hard way and I’m lookin' for a better time

I’m a world away

I’m a world away

Standin' at the gates

With my suitcase

But I’m a world away

I’m a world away

Standin' at the gates

With my suitcase

But I’m a world away
