Текст Janis Ian – Goodbye To Morning

Don’t sing me love songs
You know they make me cry
Don’t bring me any promises
You’ve none I want to buy

Bleeding for the sailors
Who never caught the tide
And the wind goes on forever
Tomorrow never dies
And I wave goodbye to morning
And stake my life on land

I was sitting on the doorstop
Watching Satan have his day
It was half past morning
‘Fore I tore myself away
I’ve never looked beyond the mirrors
Of our used-to-be
The gilded edges shadow sketches
In the light of memory

And I found the paint by number
With your name across the top
And the room began to dance
To the spinning of the clock
And I waved goodbye to morning
But I left the door unlocked

Well, the tears flow like wine
And the salt makes you blind

And I think I found the answer
Where you left it on the shelf
But it’s too late to wonder
If I left it there myself
And the room begins to rock
And the walls begin to steam
And the clock won’t stop
And I’m living in between
And I wave goodbye to morning
And stake my life on dreams
