Текст песни: Girl in the Hi-Tops + перевод

The pretty young girl in the hi-tops

Is speaking up surely to me

I’m drinking red wine, I feel fine as she tells me

«We lose all the best to the sea.»

We lose all the best to the sea

The show is over; the place is almost empty

The bartenders put up the chairs

Every song that we sang

Has gone on its way to the air

Songs have gone on their way to the air

(Chorus)

They are gone, gone, all the way gone

Everyone all the way gone to the Light--

Amen

She tells me those songs really moved her

She tells me she goes to school around here

And next spring, she and her boyfriend are going

To Dublin, to live for a year

To Dublin, to live for a year

Chorus

I tell her I lived in Dublin once

I manage not to say, «I was young then»

She says, «Right on!», but I’m gone as my mind’s eye

Goes wandering forward to when

To when the pretty young girl in the hi-tops

Is writing poems in a flat in Rathmines…

Tonight it’s snowing in Cleveland; I’m no one to tell her that

We lose all the best things to time

Oh we lose all the best things to time

Chorus x 2

Amen

Amen
