Текст песни: Bright September + перевод

The winter thaw had broken and the days were getting longer

You saddled up to ride into the town

All the dreary months of staring out the window, quite alone

Had given you an itch to settle down

That poisonous wind that followed you from Santa Fe to Tulsa

Died down when you turned and headed north

It might be just the time to end this loneliness

And if it’s not, you’ve handled things like this before

Marry her in bright September

Tell yourself she never has to know

Cause deception doesn’t feel the same in summer

When you haven’t got the cover of the snow

The autumn sees you walking by the river

Making plans to build a home for her next year

When she tells you there will be a child in May or June

You smile, because this time you’re in the clear

Marry her in bright September

Tell yourself she never has to know

Cause deception doesn’t feel the same in summer

When you haven’t got the cover of the snow

Now the fall is getting deeper and a wind is blowing

One last trip to town before the freeze

As she hurries off to send a letter to her mother

You taste familiar blood upon the breeze

She is slowly coming toward you with a whiteness

Reflected from the poster in her hand

Just a picture that she’d never thought to look for

Of a husband and a sorely wanted man

Bury her in grey December

Strike out on your own

You can put a couple thousand miles between you

While she lies beneath the cover of the snow
