Virginia Avenue — текст песни (Tom Waits)

I Hope That I Don`t Fall in Love with You

Well I hope that I don`t fall in love with you
`Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you
calling out for me
And I hope that I don`t fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
take that frown and break it,
Before the evening`s gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don`t fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don`t understand,
Well I turn around to look at you,
you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
but we`ve never met,
And I hope that I don`t fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
and it being late, you`d like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you`re with has up and split,
the chair next to you`s free,
And I hope that you don`t fall in love with me.

Now it`s closing time, the music`s fading out
Last call for drinks, I`ll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you,
you`re nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
guess I`ll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.
