Текст песни: Time and Tide + перевод

There was once a girl

Or maybe more than once

Twice upon a time

Not her time — out of time, any time

But every single time

We can call her Rose

Should we ever call

Twice and maybe more

More than Rose, simply Rose, any Rose

And Rose was going to fall

And she was always falling

From somewhere very high

She blazed across the sky

Into water, into fire

And there was once a boy

Or maybe more than once

Twice upon a time

Not his time — out of time, any time

But every single time

We can call him Jack

Should we ever call

Twice and maybe more

Nimble Jack, quickly Jack, every Jack

And Jack will catch the Rose

And he will stop her falling

And he will hold her heart

And she will do her part

Time and tide, and over years

And Jack will kiss the Rose

Once and only once

But every single time

Not our time, into time, out of time

Twice upon a time

And after it was over

When she knew Jack was lost

Rose lived, he paid the cost —

Oh, after it was over

And oh, the Rose’s tears

Sweet daughter of the years

Carry him through time and tide

Into water, into fire, and grief and pride

Carry him through all your years

Out of longing, into hope and blessed by tears

Keep it all inside, the time and the tide

There was once a girl…
