Beas Song — текст песни (cowboy junkies)

Speed river at my feet running low and flat

Im sitting here burning daylight,

Thinking about the past

And that distance out there

Where the earth meets the sky

The slightest move and this river mud

Pulls me further down

Johns at my side, but hes sitting on firmer ground



John says I look at the moon and the stars

These days more often than I look into his eyes

And I cant disagree so I dont say nothing

I just stare on past his face at venus rising,

Like a shining speck of hope hanging over the horizon



With each passing year that I sit here

That horizon seems to inch just that much nearer

And all that appears on it seems as clear as spit

But if theres on thing in my life

That these years have taught

Its that you can always see it coming

But you can never stop it



Speed river at my feet running low and flat

Im sitting here burning daylight,

Thinking about the past

And that distance out there

Where the earth meets the sky

The slightest move and this river mud

Pulls me further down

Johns at my side,

But hes not noticing that Im drowning

The slightest move and this river mud

Pulls me further down

Johns at my side,

But hes not noticing that Im drowning
