Текст песни: The Ballad of Emily Rose + перевод

The neighborhood girls, they’re young and they’re pretty

In a little dive bar to the east of the city

And she whispers to me, «I think it’s a pity

Sometimes

'Cause nothing rings true in the noise and the laughter

And those boys in the corner just reek of disaster»

She slips out the door and I follow after

To go

And I know someday soon

I’ll find that tune

It comes and it goes

But she always knows

My Emily Rose

Now I’ve sung the songs of the saints and the sinners

And the losers who tell you that we are all winners

While scraping the bread off the floor for their dinners

Tonight

'Cause nobody’s perfect and nobody’s sane

They dream about money or power or fame

But I only smile when she whispers my name

In the morning

And she just shines so bright

In the cold, dead night

She practically glows

My love only grows

For Emily Rose

And I was in love once

I guess I was

I was a father, a brother

A husband, a lover

But when I’m with her it’s just me

The way it should be

And I just wait so long

For that one good song

Speeds up and it slows

With its uneven prose

For Emily Rose
