Текст песни: Eugene + перевод

Eugene,

I see you looking,

looking at me

with those forlorn eyes,

that tired dejection, and

bravery.

Well, maybe, I said,

maybe you can toss

this dreadful life, and flee, but

your heart’s gone cold, as cold as

your ears, and hands, and feet.

All through the eyes of a blind man.

How many more have we stunted like this?

Oh, we are not to be faulted, we said,

for we are the ones with the fortunate ends.

Eugene,

you were a broker, and

a seller of goods, but

you’ve lost it all, and you’d

sell your soul to stand

where you once stood.

Once wed,

you felt love of a kind

that I have never had.

Heaven knows her better now,

and for her

it’s not so bad.

Eugene,

you see the passers,

passing you by.

They deny you change,

abuse you,

reproach you

of getting high.

But it’s been

many a year since you have

first been clean.

You are sober now, but

your mind’s still bursting

at the seams.

You said,

told me you were sent down

here to earth to be

an angel for all

of our friends in need,

and I

may have walked you by

a thousand times before

on a floor of stone,

coarse and cold,

all alone,

frighteningly hollow,

and somehow filled with

life, joy, tears, and smiles,

and love,

and hope
