Текст песни: Four & Twenty + перевод

Four & twenty years ago

I come into this life

The son of a woman

And a man who lived in strife

He was tired o' being poor

And he wasn’t into selling door to door

And he worked like a devil to be more

A different kind of poverty

Now upsets me so

Night after sleepless night

I walk the floor and I want to know

Why am I so alone

Where is my woman can I bring her home

Have I driven her away… is she gone

Morning comes, the sunrise

And I’m driven to my bed

I see that it is empty

And there’s devils in my head

I embrace the many coloured beast

I grow weary of the torment

Can there be no peace

And I find myself just wishin'

That my life would simply cease
