Текст песни: When I Was In Monaghan + перевод

In the long year of the knife

When everything was opened

To the startled pale of bone

And to the quickened bloom of pain

We wept and bled and trembled

In the doorway to the station

Oh, but when I was in Monaghan

She washed my hair with rain

When I was in Monaghan

She washed my hair with rain

With rain

You broke my throne, I stole the blade

And ground it on my father’s wheel

And then I threw it in the river

Where the river heads for south

And I raged just like an animal

Oh, to see me, all was still

Oh, but when I was in Monaghan

She kissed me on the mouthWhe I was in Monaghan

She kissed me on the mouth

She kissed me on the mouth

Beware, oh, traveler

For the road is walking, too

Beware, oh, traveler

For the road is walking, too

Beware, oh, traveler

For the road is walking, too

The road is walking, too

You’ve been a ghost for so long

You can’t know what I’ve become

Oh, but I still read through your dark eyes'

The bright news of the day

And now I know my good right arm

Is never growing back

Oh, but when I was in Monaghan

She dashed my tears away

When I was in Monaghan

She dashed my tears away

She dashed my tears away

Beware, oh, traveler

Beware, oh, traveler

Beware, oh, traveler

Beware, oh, traveler
