Текст песни: A Handful of Rain + перевод

Baby don’t be wakeful

Let your daddy sleep

All the things that scare you

Surely, they will keep

TV news and back rent blues

And all points in between

You count your needs on your worry beads

And then you start it all again

Listen at the window

To the locusts in the trees

Talking ‘bout the heat, you know

Waiting on a breeze

Back porch sounds they slow you down

To a simple kind of view

Front porch speed too much for me

Racing everything they do

And I can’t make out

With all their running ‘round

Where are they going to?

And would they bother if they knew?

That you can’t hold on to a handful of rain

And you can’t teach the wind to call your name

You can’t make a deal with time

And beg it not to change

It slips away like a handful of rain

Flowers in the kitchen

Dream catcher by my bed

Can’t you hear the angels

That are singing in my head?

Weave a prayer around you where

You stand in disbelief

Music plays with you always

And puts wings upon your feet

And the brightest road will always go

To where you want to be

And won’t you come with me?

‘Cause you can’t hold on to a handful of rain

And you can’t teach the wind to call your name

You can’t make a deal with time

And be it not to change

It slips away like a handful of rain

Weave a prayer around you where

You stand in disbelief

Music plays with you always

And puts wings upon your feet

And the brightest road will always go

To where you want to be

Won’t you come with me?

‘Cause you can’t hold on to a handful of rain

And you can’t teach the wind to call your name

You can’t make a deal with time

And be it not to change

It slips away like a handful of rain

It slips away like a handful of rain

Handful of rain
