Текст песни: Run the Wire + перевод

Run the wire from bow to stern

Give the windlass a couple turns

Check the running light tonight, good light above

And tomorrow we shall see

If she is worthy of the sea

And then see if she is worthy of thy love

Lay you down on featherbed

A feather pillow rest your head

I’m coming home from work, I’m by the water

I will meet you between the sheets

With tangled limbs and naked feet

To see if we are worthy of a son or daughter

Will I be a steadfast father

In spite of my inconstant ways

I am jouncing

I am rowing

I don’t know how to stay

Do we move and remove to undo some mistake

Or is moving’s motive running from a life we’re scared to make

And if there’s somewhere that we’re running to

Will it ever be the place

Where the stream sings

From the light of morning sun

The pain it quickly comes, it carries over

Positive and negative

Reverse it back from steeder to the grover

The trouble is that trouble lends itself

To troubled times till troubled times are gone
