Текст песни: Boiling Down Silas + перевод

In the summer when he was young, Silas traveled with his family to another town

And his Dad found work at a grocery store and his Mom cleaned houses with the

lady next door

And they enrolled Silas in a new grade school, and there they were while Silas

grew

Silas he grew into a rowdy boy on his bike, all over town he would ride

And most of the time he was all alone, his only friend lived on the other side

of town

But they’d get together every Saturday, to see what kind of hell they could

raise

One long day at the end of July, Silas held his Mother’s hand while she cried

His Dad had been called back to the Golden Shore, she said «Silas,

he can’t come home no more»

Now Silas he was an only child, and he never ever left his Mother’s side

He lived in the room of a rowdy boy, even though he’s 45

Things look the same as they did when he was 12, and there they were til her

time ran out

In the winter in the freezing cold, they couldn’t bury his Mom because the

ground was too hard

So Silas went home and he lay on his bed and his feet hung out way over the edge

And he could feel his Mother’s hand in his, and his Dad’s voice drifted into

his ears

What does it mean to be an orphan now? When he’s not a child and his clock is

running down?

Who’s to blame when he doesn’t know which way to turn? His head it ached and

his stomach burned

And he tossed and he turned and he could never rest, and there he was until the

very end
