Текст песни: The Sky At Night + перевод

A simple telescope

An impulse buy from the market town

Where cheap scented candles were three for a pound

Where almost antiques are perused and discarded right under the shopkeepers'

eyes

I lost my girl to an eyepiece and the sky

The bedroom slipping into disrepair

The cellophane peels from a paperback book

The wallpaper tears where the pictures once stood

Street lights and dancing say much more to me than the cold sky at night

With your telescope gathering light

I’m left to my thoughts and I’m left to my records

And I’ll watch the back of your neck as you sit on your knees gazing up at the

sky

With your telescope gathering light

You’re lost to the world and you’re closing an eye

And I’m left all alone in the deafening quiet

Looking for something to fill all those nights when you’re lost gathering light

We’d kiss like teenagers

Who’d run away at seventeen

Romantically plan for a summer abroad

And make it as far as the next market town before midnight

And heading back home

Then I lost my girl to a small refracting lens

An eyepiece and a cylinder of light

The holiday sunglasses stay on the shelf

Gathering dust by the traveller’s globe

Street lights and dancing say much more to me than the cold sky at night

With your telescope gathering light

I’ll gather my thoughts and I’ll long for the courage

To pull down the shutters if I could discover some ways to distract

From the telescope gathering light

But you’re lost to the world and you’re closing an eye

And I’m left all alone in the deafening quiet

Looking for something to fill all those nights when you’re lost gathering light

So open up, let’s run through the city tonight

At least until the clouds dissipate
