Альбом Marianne Faithfull

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

My riches can't buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ...

Now is the glimmering spinning beginning
Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes
To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows
Of night, here with you in my arms.

This is the moment that pauses to hold us
As you and I move in a background of wonder,
Surrounded by countless enclosures
Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy.

Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
And waited, and called out my name by the hour,
And counted on the wings of my heartstrings
To carry the sound, I have counted on pleading,
You see how I need you, come down.

And now between twilight and midnight I come to you,
Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight,
Bright is the evening, the breezes have fenced us
And nestled against us??

You're here??
And warm.

And mine till the time
When the dawn will awake you,
The morning will shake you,
The highway will take you.

But now all the rays of the moon making bouquets
Will swim through the luster of lingering street lights
We count on the night to hold everything even,
And count on forgetting that you will be leaving,
And destiny's folded and then in the dawn you'll be gone.

But now as the gardens of softening night time
Are blossoming slowly around where we are,
You and I come together
And walk through the dreams of the stars.

So here while the song of the deepening evening
Is singing to me from the light in your eyes,
We can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow
And know where we've been

There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,

This little bird that somebody sends.

He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies

Winter's almost gone,
Oh how I've waited so long
For summer nights.
When there's magic in the air
And I don't have a care,
All that matters to me
Is that you are here
On summer nights.

There's a little caf?r>Where we can hear music play.
They keep the lights turned down low
It's a place where lovers go.
There you'll hold me tight and say
Our love will always be this way
On summer nights.

At the end of the day
We can go down to the bay
And together hand in hand
We will walk along the sand
On summer nights.

In our little caf?r>We'll dance the night away
And we know our love will be
Always true eternally.

And when the moon begins to shine
I can see that you are mine
On summer nights.

On summer nights.
On summer nights

He walks along singing his fairy song
Picking up magic that grows at his feet.
She says the same her peculiar way
Dreaming good fortune on everyone's street.

Say, hey, have you heard, blue whiskey's the rage,
I'll send you a jug in the morning.
It is absurd to live in a cage,
You know there's got to be something better.

As they go by, don't look with eagle's eyes
Smile on your jailers until they grow weak.
Nothing can compare to something that's almost there
To tear up the madness that all of us seek.

Say, hey, have you heard, blue whiskey's the rage,
I'll send you a jug in the morning.
It is absurd to live in a cage,
You know there's got to be something better.

I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all of my life.
Yes, I'll be as true, as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me.

Lovers of the past I'll leave behind,
There'll never be another on my mind.
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me.

The promises I made most faithfully,
I'll keep still, should you decide to leave.

I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me.

We'll live a life no one has ever known,
But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown.
But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me.

But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me

Monday, monday
So good to me.
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be.

Oh monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That monday evening
You would still be here with me.

Monday, monday
Can't trust the day.
Monday, monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way.

On monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be.
On monday, monday
How could you leave
And not take me?

Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever monday comes
But whenever monday comes
You can find me crying

All of the time.

Monday, monday
So good to me.
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be.
Oh monday morning,
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That monday evening
You would still be here with me.

Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever monday comes
But whenever monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time.

Monday, monday,
Can't trust the day.
Monday, monday,
Don't go away.

Oh, monday, monday,
Don't go away.
Oh, monday, monday...

I'll take a walk all by myself
So I can think of nothing else
But loving you when we find time.
These are the things I'll do with you in mind.

I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn
Every day that you are gone
A new memory to live I'll find.
These are the things I'll do with you in mind.

There'll come a day when I can live
To go and bring you back to me.
We'll dance and sing and toast someone.
There are the things I'll do with you in mind.
There are the things I'll do with you in mind

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly
I'm not half the one I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why he had to go,
I don't know, he wouldn't say.
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why he had to go,
I don't know, he wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Yesterday

Go away from my world,
Let me dream alone.
And you see it never worked from the start,
All I got for all of my love was a broken heart.

Go away from my world,
And let me dream alone.
I'll dry my eyes and comb my hair,
And I'll pretend you're never there.

Now you're gone the breezes blow so sadly

You never could understand the love I wanted so badly.

Go away from my world,
And let me walk all alone.
All alone in my room,
All alone and so sad.

I can dream of how I wanted us to be
Dreams I have the kind I knew could ever be.

Go away from my world

Tomorrow's calling with promises new
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.

Silver patterns of porcelain rose
Cobwebs of filley green.
Where I get them from nobody knows,
No one but you can see.

All the treasures of time will be there,
Take them away, they're free.
The finest thing is a love that we'll share
If you will follow me.

If I were foolish I'd promise the sky.
But I must not let my hopes run too high.

And I wonder when all's said and done
What will the future be?

All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me.

If you will follow me.
If you will follow me.

And I wonder when all is said and done
What will the future be?
All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me,
If you will follow me,
If you will follow me.

Tomorrow's calling with promises new
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.

I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue

In my time of sorrow,
In my time of feeling bad
Oh what I'd give
Just to relive
All of the good times that I've had.

In my time of sorrow
In my time of feeling alone
There was a time
I could ease my mind
With thoughts of just being on my own.

Changes of life
I'm going through

Keep me from doing
What I know I should do.

In my time of sorrow
In my time where teardrops fall
I can't tell you why
I don't want to try,
But the time has come
For me to say fare well.

In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow...

There's been a lot of talk around
That you've been seen with a certain party
& now I'm so afraid I'm losing you, oh baby
Don't tell me you don't want my love
I couldn't give it to just anybody
Baby won't you tell me it's not true?

[Bridge:]
Don't leave me, baby
Don't tell me it's over
After I trusted you
And did my best to make you happy

[Chorus:]
Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?
Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?
There was a night when you held me tight
& you said you'd always love me
You said you'd never hurt me

What would there be left for me?
It's such a cruel world to be alone in
I always needed you to look out for me, oh baby
I'm gonna miss your loving arms
They're the only arms I feel at home in
Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Don't leave me baby

[Chorus to fade]

I have a love and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him, I'm his,
And every thing he is
I am, too.

I have a love and he's all that I need,
Right or wrong, and he needs me, too.
I love him, we're one.
There's nothing to be done.
Not a thing I can do

But hold him,
Hold him forever.
Be with him now
Tomorrow and all of my life.

When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong.
Your love is your own

Some other spring I'll try to love,
Now I still cling to faded blossoms.
Fresh when one left crushed and torn
Like the love affair I'm on.

Some other spring, when twilight falls,
Will the night bring another to me ?
Not your kind will let me find
It's not true that love is blind.

Sun shines around me,
But deep in my heart, it's cold as ice.
Love wants you for me,
But can the story be told twice ?

Some other spring will my heart ring
Stirring to sing love's magic music.
Then forget the old duet
Find love with some other spring.

Here I lie in my hospital bed,
Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again.
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,
Oh, you see I'm not that strong.

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears.
Tell me, sister morphine, how long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor.
Can't you see, sister morphine, I'm just trying to score.

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem.
Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams.
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last.

Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head.
Hey, sister morphine, you'd better make up my bed
For you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and you can watch the clean white sheets stain red
