Текст песни: Walking on the Levee + перевод

Summer Sunday morning, no one else around

I’m walking on the levee, between the river and the town

Water’s moving fast, streets are slow

Gonna go a little farther, past the part I know

Wasp on the grass, a floating red thorn

Sun coming up, day being born

In that big house last night where I played my guitar

Everyone’s still sleeping off what they drank at the bar

Or are they making quiet love ‘neath the turning of a fan—

Did they wake to the sound of dogs barking at a man?

I grew up down the road, it’s been 40 years

Walking on the levee now, I’m a stranger here

Read the graffiti on the pump station wall:

«I heart Amber» in a red sprayed scrawl

«Did you ever have a dream you’re sure was real?»

«What does God hide—what does God reveal?»

Her daddy had a houseboat docked right down there

I still remember her kiss, the smell of her hair

That boat burned and sank 25 years ago

Karen died by lightning strike, I was told

Walking on the levee, pretty ghost at my side

The past and the present all caught in my eye
