Текст песни: Marble City Bar + перевод

If you ever go to the marble city

Of Kilkenny in the month of May

Remember me to the banks of the river

Where I first noticed I was fading away…

There is a castle with children a-playing

There is a father who will say hello

He doesn’t have to- that’s just the way he’s feeling-

And that’s such a long way to go

Oh don’t pick me 'cos I’m not playing

I’m just staring into space

I can’t hear a single word you’re saying

There’s nothing happening behind this face

I’m just a man and I’m on my own

I hear strange news from another star

I’m just a man and I’m on my own

Dreaming of the marble city bar

(Spoken Word)

«He's maybe just left, I’m not sure

I think some saw him just going outside»

Well I crossed the bridge

And I walked down slowly

Through the reeds to the watermill

The sun was cold in the time of losing

I stood all alone in the Irish chill

I was tempted there to take my life

The water flashed by like the blade of a knife

The roar of the river rose up to the sky

And knew nobody would hear my cry…

(Spoken Word)

«Hey Jackie — we were looking for you

You’ll catch your death out here

And your beer’s getting cold —

So why don’t you come back in?»
