Текст песни: Third Family Portrait + перевод

It was the dead of winter

The cold was in our bones

And our shelves stood barren

As we had ever known

So our mother stands on the porch one evening

With a silent crack in her stony mask

She looked up at the sky

And said «please»

And by the turn of summer

We’d packed up all we owned

And with my mom and brothers

We started for the coast

And I would count all the clouds on the way

And you and I would name them

While the world around us changed

And I remember asking if the place we’re moving

Would have more food and my mother grew as distant as can be

And mouthed «please»

Eyes, so tired eyes

Pay no mind

The river of time will drown these days out

It was the year just after

We stood and watched the sea

And my mom was smiling

No longer saying please
