Ketchum — текст песни (Lee Ben)

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
Today I got my call from Ketchum Idaho
From Hemingway and railways and whiskey wine and snow
But if you`ve never been in pain before then I guess you wouldn`t know
I`m leaving in a while now for Ketchum`s icy sting
To walk and fish and write some songs, to stay up late and drink
And if I stay there long enough then I`ll never feel a thing
And Ketchum will be good to you if are strong and brave
She caters to the melancholy every single day
And babbles like a drunk old man unloading all his pain
I`ll lock myself in Ketchum`s stare I`ll make her my whole world
I`m gonna roam the Ketchum streets to find a Ketchum girl
And then I`ll let her break my heart `cos that`s all that I do well
The valley will become my home her hills will keep me safe
I`ll give her songs about my soul when there`s no soul left to take
And I`ll forget I ever lived in any other place
And it may seem inevitable I would love this fate
So beautiful and tragic and her heroes can`t escape
And Hemingway he shot himself one July evening late
But me I couldn`t bring myself to bloody Ketchum`s name
Underneath her passion boils, never spoils surface tame
I`ll slowly let her kill me with her lonely wind and rain
Her lonely tears and pain
