Текст песни: From What the Stars Are Made We Cannot Hold + перевод

In the screaming days of my youth

I’d traded honesty for a sense of pride

But my selfish streak

Had finally reached its peak

When an ego knows no bound

Glory gets crushed without a sound

From what the stars are made we cannot hold

The years don’t make you wise, they make you old

So… heading where I was for whatever reason

Staring into shops and restaurant windows

Ignoring the rain and the season

The wind and its echoes

It’s then that I saw her

Sitting in a busy dinner

Like a lonely prime number

In her tattered Salvation Army sweater

She was lost among the noisy crowd

Her silence twice as loud

The room heavy with her breathing

The way her mouth would just sing

I could have stopped but I kept on walking

Sometimes the fear is greater than the calling

I understood I could no longer live for myself

And put the rest of the world on a shelf

And then the calm after the storm

A calm that’s quiet and worrisome

The door opened behind me She came out in a hurry

And I headed home

Our long shadows not quite touching
