Текст песни: The Cathedral + перевод

I heard your voice reverberating off of the back wall of the cathedral

It echoed off the wedding bells and disappeared down Route 18

At first I tried to guide it back towards the strings of my heart where your

hands pulled

But it was faster and more devious than I could ever hope to be

So I racked my brain for days and days hoping I’d find some magic combination

Some special set of syllables to send your heart back to my door

But progress can’t be made if you’re the one who keeps on doing all the changing

And every sentence that I say to you seems to fall just short

If I could change you, I don’t think that I’d have the guts to

My roots have shown through and there’s no room for you here, to get stuck in

the ground

The distances we drew between did not present a clear and present danger

And when we finally noticed them they were too heavy to move on

And somewhere between Madison and Bellingham I thought I had an answer

But by the time I got to Denver I could plainly see that it was gone

If I could change you, I don’t think that I’d have the guts to

My roots have shown through and there’s no room for you here, to get stuck in

the ground

I found you in the night with the porch lights shining bright

In the dead of the fall, that was where I lost it all

Could you be more to me than a future memory

Of a girl, weighed down by the circumstances found and floundering

Under the weight of all we’ve yet to be?

I’m floundering, under the weight of all we’ve yet to be
