CHINESE CAFE/UNCHAINED MELODY — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)





Caught in the middle
Carol, we`re middle class
We`re middle aged
We were wild in the old days
Birth of rock `n roll days
Now your kids are coming up straight
And my child`s a stranger
I bore her
But, I could not raise her
Nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We`d be dreaming on our dimes
We`d be playing--
"Oh my love, my darling"
One more time

Uranium money
Is booming in the old home town now
It`s putting up sleek concrete
Tearing the old landmarks down now
Paving over brave little parks
Ripping off Indian land again
How long--how long
Short sighted business men
Ah, nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We`d be dreaming on our dimes
We`d be playing--
"You give your love, so sweetly"
One more time

Christmas is sparkling
Out on Carol`s lawn
This girl of my childhood games
With kids nearly grown and gone
Grown so fast
Like the turn of a page
We look like our mothers did now
When we were those kids` age
Nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Nothing lasts for long--
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We`d be dreaming on our dimes
We`d be playing--
"Oh my love, my darling
I`ve hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me."
(Time goes--where does the time go--
I wonder where the time goes. . .)
