Текст песни: Galveston Blues + перевод

We drove all night to see you

Leave your hospital bed

Your bride said, «Don't feel that you need to

But if you want to, then go ahead

And come to Galveston»

We soaked up margeritas in some crab shack

And searched for whales out on the horizon

We had the whole pier to ourselves

But the waiter said, «You should see this town in season

You should see Galveston»

In Galveston, I saw floating docks above a littered beach

And a casino lit up like a peacock getting swallowed by the sea

I saw a giant seagull eating Wonder Bread from the hand of a little girl

She said, «This is where the ocean begins but it’s the end of the world»

I took a photo of a graffiti sunset

On the boardwalk above the sand

A concrete wall signed in spraypaint hieroglyphs

I strained to see the master’s hand

In Galveston

In Galveston I shut my eyes in the neon light of a sunken bar

And saw twenty-nine years stacked in boxes in the back of a rental car

I saw a nurse roll a cigarette outside the revolving door of your hospital

She said, this is where the ocean begins but it’s the end of the world
