Esther — текст песни (Mutton Birds)

(Alan Gregg)
Esther`s been reading books
She`s changed the way that she talks and the way that she looks
Her coffee is black now and so are her clothes
She`s shaved off her hair and put a ring through her nose
Esther`s been watching movies
And she must have seen someone that she would like to be
With looks like hers she could be on the screen
But she`s the worst actor that I`ve ever seen
Esther I`ve known you for ages
And I`ve watched you through all the changes
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
But now we`re becoming strangers
Esther`s been burning bridges
I remember the time when she turned religious
But soon she turned her back on the church
And brushed it aside to continue the search
Because Esther`s been searching for something
She doesn`t quite know what it is
Yes Esther`s been looking for something
Maybe something that doesn`t exist
Esther, isn`t it funny how we don`t do the things we used to do?
You don`t think about that anymore Esther,
but Esther, I still think about you.
Esther`s been getting lonely
After she cut herself off from the only
People on whom she could depend
People who were happy to call her their friend
Esther I`ve known you for ages
And I`ve watched you through all the stages
Esther, we used to be the best of friends
But now we`re becoming strangers
Oh Esther
Oh Esther
