Текст песни: Before The Night Is Gone + перевод

I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do

Now I’ve one hand on the wheel and one arm reaching out to you

Closed your eyes in Grand Junction and I ain’t heard a word since then

So I’ll just try to stay inside the lines and mind the sideways wind

All I’ve got is the radio and this empty distant sky

And Willie’s singing somewhere over the rainbow

But you no you won’t see the tears in my eyes

Before the night is gone

Won’t you tell me our love will linger on?

And knock that chip off your shoulder

Into your heart of stone to start a spark

‘Cause I need someway to see in the dark

Thought I could be honest and you thought you could be true

The promises we made were many but the ones we kept were few

We were looking for green grass and a warm and loving home

But we’ve got this cold concrete curse in our blood and our bones

When we crossed that great divide it was in the back of both of our minds

Like the rivers from that point you’d go your way and I’d go mine

The gas station on the state line where we saw the posted signs

The government was saying they were sorry and trying to apologize

About the poison in the sand and the lies they told again and again

They thought if they gave us enough money that we would all understand

But babe you never will and that’s why I love you still

No matter how far we drift apart

You’ll always have a piece of my heart
