Текст Captain Beefheart – Autumn’s Child

Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams dancing ’round
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams dancing down

Autumn’s child, Autumn’s child

Autumn’s child got a loophole ’round her finger
Halo rings her head
Cornhusk hair makes me linger
A cat’s stare meets my dare
A man’s chair greets my stare
Gonna be my wife, she sang, she said
Ooh, gonna be my wife, gonna spice my life, she said

Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams everywhere
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams fill the air

Harvest moon be nimble
Apples bob and tremble
Fish pond streaks love kind
Found the child I have to find

Apples shine share together
Got the time to make her mine
Fish pond streaks love kind
Found the child I had to find

Autumn’s child, I met her at a balloon bust picnic
Ooh, she caught me with the beauty queen
With jade-green eyes
Buttons and bows and fancy ties

The feet of dust under trees of rust
Make them sandals gambol under knees of trust

Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams shining down
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams glancin’ ’round

Autumn’s child, Autumn’s child
Autumn’s child, Autumn’s child
