On Susan`s Floor — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan`s floor

Didn`t feel so cold and tired
Stretched out before her fire
Rollin` smokes and drinkin` up her wine
And I remember candlelight
And singing `til we could not sing no more
Then fallin` warm asleep on Susan`s floor

Well now that my song is sweeeter
I think I`d like to greet her
And thank her for the favors that she gave
A stranger I came
My head bowed in the rain to her door
I sat and sang my songs on Susan`s floor

In the mornin` I`d go on
Buyin` kingdoms with my songs
Knowin` I`d be back in just a while
Warm in the sunlight of her smile

Well lots of time and songs have passed
I catch myself just looking back
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
That`s where I`d be today
If I had only stayed one night more
And sang another song on Susan`s floor

Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan`s floor
