Текст песни: Things Ain't What They Was + перевод

Said the wind came on so fast and strong

we did not have the time to find the same, mmmm

Oh, and down below the ground

we sat and watched that Virgin Mary candle burn,

When a thousand marching bands at almost dawn we opened up the door, mmmm

said now everything we’ve ever know was gone-

Things ain’t what they was before

She met him on a Friday night-

By Sunday afternoon they’d run away, mmmm

Well I pieced it all together Wednesday evening-

with a postcard from L.A.

Thursday morning came and found me on the ground behind old lover’s bar,

said the only love I’d ever known was gone-

Things ain’t what they was before

Oh, Lord I don’t mind the change in time

setters of the storm, oh no

when that new moon shines on you-

Things ain’t what they was before

With whiskey on my breath

I sang a song about a love that I once knew, mmmm

and the pain in that refrain took on the meaning

when she walked into the room,

ooohhhh she told me she was sorry-

she could not live without me anymore, oh oh

said the only love she’d ever known was gone,

Things ain’t what they was before

Oh, Lord I don’t mind the change in time

setters of the storm, oh no

when that new moon shines on you-

Things ain’t what they was before

Now eternity had passed without a word-

she gently took my hand,

said this ain’t no rebound love affair-

I don’t want no one night stand, mmmm

I pushed back from the bar with my guitar now and I headed for the door,

oooohhh I ain’t nobody’s stepping stone no more,

Things ain’t what they was before

na na na oohh oh

oh I don’t mind the change in time

setters of the storm, oh no

when that new moon shines on you-
