Текст песни: Play Us A Waltz + перевод

You walk in the door, you see them sitting there

The old people in shawls, in silver wheel chairs

The blind and the lame, herded into a room

Where there is no one to love, and nothing to do

«Play us a waltz, play us a tune

I’ll pray for you Mister, each night in my room

My children are grown, my living is done

Oh say you’ll remember, my darling young one»

Here in this place, there are no last names

It’s Martha and Bill, and Sarah and Jane

Everything else, has been given away

To their children who don’t come, on visiting day (refrain)

Get them up in the morning, and see that they’re fed

Lay them back down at night, while they cry in their beds

In this worst kind of prison, where there ain’t no parole

No one sets them free, they’re unwanted and old (refrain)

You walk out the door, and they’re still sitting there

The old people in shawls, in silver wheel chairs

The blind and the lame, herded back to their rooms

Where there is no one to love, and nothing to do (refrain)
