Текст песни: Someone Above Me Tonight + перевод

It’s three in the morning

The barman is leaving

Someone I met

While drinking this evening

I gave him my number

In ink on a coaster

He was solemn and ugly

He’d served as a soldier

I asked if he’d seen

Anyone close to him die

He said his best friend

Had been shot in the chest but survived

He said that he prayed

As he knelt by his side

And God must have listened

And spared him his life

He asked if I prayed

And I told him I tried

But I got the answer machine

Half of me joking, half of me hoping

Everything he said was right

One way or another, a God or a lover

I need someone above me tonight

I surrender, oh Lord

I surrender, oh Lord

In my hand there’s a stone I found in the foam

While walking the beaches of Jura alone

Where I swear that I saw you down on the shore

Eyeing the ocean like a commodore

So I ran and I ran and I ran

To the spot where you stood

And when you weren’t there

I felt the despair of knowing I’d lost you for good

So I cried and I cried and I fell to the ground

At the height of my misery

That’s when I found one beautiful stone the sea had laid down

The colour of your sky blue eyes

So am I just lonely

Or was this some holly offer to show me the light?

One way or another, a God or a lover

I need someone above me tonight

I surrender, oh Lord

I surrender, oh Lord

I was holding the stone

While we made love

Pressing so tightly

That I drew blood

And like an offering

To the Lord above

I let it drip in the bed

Into the perfume and sweat

I surrender, oh Lord

I surrender, oh Lord
