Текст песни: Cowboy Junkies Lament + перевод

Baby hit the back door

Breathin' real heavy

Said the boys in the alley

Wouldn’t leave her alone

Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry

She finally got ready

But the boys were gone

Mama don’t you worry

Night’s approachin'

There’s a hole in heaven

Where some sin slips through

Just close your eyes and dream real steady

Maybe just a little will spill on you

Dark don’t lie

Dreams come true

Could be a few will see you through

Old lady Rose, lookin' down her nose

At lonely Miss Lily hiding in the hall

Lily’s just praying for the trial to be over

Lady Rose just waiting for the axe to fall

Show me off on the way to town

The sky’s still shiny

And the earth’s still brown

Tell the judge I’m ready for the vases

Gonna dance in their faces

When the guitar sounds

Won’t be long

I won’t be gone

Been leaning toward the shadows all along

Those in the know say so it goes

You plan on reapin', you better sow

You plan on sleepin'

You better keep movin'

Sleepin' ain’t allowed around here

You know

Tell me please when the rollin’s over

Me and my baby gonna have some fun

Bury our backs in a bed of clover

Smile in style while the sun goes down

Snake eyes cry

Boxcars sigh

Seven’s stuck in the middle

Just wonderin' why

Dark don’t lie

Dreams come true

All it takes is one or two

Maybe just a few will see you through
