Paradise — текст песни (John Wesley Harding)

Everythings changed and its all for the best

And its all gone according to plan

Its out in the open and now its all over

Three cheers for every woman and man

Terry and julie still stand on the bridge

But only in our memory

Dont look to them to draw a conclusion

Just love them and set them free





Julie hangs out by the banks of the river

Where the garbage all flows to the sea

Somethings washed up, its sacrifice to her

From the twentieth century

She sees the smokestacks and she sees the city

She sees the stadiums covered in snow

The streets have been cleaned except for the bedrooms

Of all the people with nowhere to go





Terry will clutch at threads where the rope was

As hes freefalling fast to the floor

But nobody claps because nobodys watching

Its his lawyers who get all the applause

Times on the move, and Im on the redeye

Where Im hoping to find one more song

But its like looking for rain in the river

Better not leave it too long





Terry and julie filled out the coupon

And they won tickets tonight to the show

But its the aisles in the new stores that beckon

As they shine a divine guiding glow

The bridge through the city, it has just crumbled

And that link is what kept them all sane

The two of them tumble into the river

Forget to come up for air again
