Clapped Out — текст песни (Mark King)

As the sun shines on me

I am here to wait

For the days of worry

Dont worry me



Lesson one was hardest

Hardest one to take

But thats just the way I am



All the nights I laid there

On my back and prayed

That I would be a better man today



I was hurting for the things Id said and done

Hurting for the someone



Its all down the river (way down the river)

Past is past and done is done

Listen to the teacher (listen to your preacher)

And do your best my son



Keener for the lessons I have learned

Wiser by a thousand years

Does the heart grow stronger

When its love is spurned

And is that why Im still here



And the nights when I laid there

On my back and prayed

Never stopped the looping anyway

Happiness is hardest as you reach the end of the road



Its all down the river (way down the river)

Past is past and done is done

Listen to the teacher (listen to your preacher)

Then youll know best my son



Its all down the river (way down the river)

Past is past and done is done

Listen to the teacher (listen to your preacher)

And do your best my son
