Текст песни Cruel White Water

Up near the border where the cruel white water

Drowns vagabond who sleeps too low

Me and my companion, famous Jack O'Lanterns

Tracked the misty mountain through the snow

Ran across the hidden chord, couldn't learn the changes

Blue Pacific called, I had to go

There was holly on the ivy in the apparition mountains

The warmest bed I found was ten below

Courted lady Greensleeves, she threw me out the window

I landed like a feather in the trees

Took off across New Mexico and landed in the Bayou

But the catfish was too lean, I had to blow

Don't lie for gold, no, no, no

Don't lie for love, turns out cold

If life depends, just get out whole

Don't lie for less, no, no, no, no

Marie, Marie Helena

You're my amour, you're my own heart

Oh, Marie, Marie Helena

Oh Marie, Marie Helena

Left the life of ease and caught the black iron steamer

Across the barren waste to your arcade

I sang, 'Take me to your leader in my strangest country tenor'

The bed I meant to lay was halfway made

Leftover pieces aren't exactly what I needed

They didn't have much meaning on their own

There was some talk of deviation from what was never mentioned

So I set out to find the wrong way home

Home inside the hour, tuning my guitar

Well, I get that sudden urge I know too well

I finished my rendition of don't pity my condition

Then I looked around to find what I could sell

Can't sell your soul, leave that alone

Can't change your role, Big Daddy Low

Don't break your back less than loveRobert Hunter - Cruel White Water - http://ru.motolyrics.com/robert-hunter/cruel-white-water-lyrics.html

Don't trade your love stars above

And Marie, Marie Helena

My firelight, you steal my heart

Oh Marie, Marie Helena

Oh Marie, Marie Helena

Caught up with Jack O'Lanterns in a town called Make It Hurt

Preaching three card Monte in the Live And Let It Church

The choir was down and dirty, drawin' bad and bettin' worse

Left at ten to six in a padded hearse

I might find companions in the after-hour taverns

Tell a tale or two I've never heard but the strangest song I know

Is 'What the thunder says to lightning'

And I never could recall a single word

Except

Up, near the border where the cruel white water

Drowns the vagabond who sleeps too low

Me and my companion, famous Jack O'Lanterns

Tracked the misty mountains through the snow

Don't lie for gold, no, no, no

Don't lie for love, turns out cold

If life depends, just get out whole

Don't lie for less, no, no, no, no

Marie, Marie Helena

You're my amour, you're my own heart

Oh Marie, Marie Helena

Marie Marie, Marie Helena

Marie, Marie Helena

Marie Marie, Marie Helena

Marie, Marie Helena

Marie Marie, Marie Helena

Marie, Marie Helena

Marie Marie, Marie Helena

Marie, Marie Helena

Marie Marie, Marie Helena
