Текст песни: Solid Ground + перевод

I’ve lived the life of a sailing man in a far off sea

I’ve held the hand of a sun-tanned girl on a bleach-blonde beach

Oh Barcelona, you’re a sight to see

But my port of call’s still years ahead of me

So don’t ask questions of me

I ain’t so young and lovely

You can see the cracks straight through my solid ground

You go to church on Sunday

I kneel before a different brand of soul salvation

It’s a long way down

Swing low sweet Juliet, won’t you take me back

Light up in your brother’s truck with the seats laid flat

Two kids in the suburbs, Julie, why talk like that?

I’m a fool for you but I don’t know how to act

So don’t ask questions of me

I ain’t so young and lovely

You can see the cracks straight through my solid ground

You go to church on Sunday

I kneel before a different brand of soul salvation

It’s a long way down

I knocked on the preacher’s door with my head hung low

Cried out «won't you help me, god?» Ain’t no one home

My absolution is this bag of bones

So I guess I’ll keep on rattling down the road

So don’t ask questions of me

I ain’t so young and lovely

You can see the cracks straight through my solid ground

You go to church on Sunday

I kneel before a different brand of soul salvation

It’s a long way down
