4th Of July — текст песни (mann aimee)

Today`s the fourth of July
another June has gone by
and when they light up our town I just think
what a waste of gunpowder and sky
I`m certain that I am alone
in harbouring thoughts of our home
it`s one of my faults that I can`t quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
Oh, baby, I wonder - if when you are older -
someday-
you`ll wake up
and say, `My God, I should have told her -
what would it take?
But now here I am and the world`s gotten colder
and she`s got the river down which I sold her.`
So that`s today`s memory lane
with all the pathos and pain
another chapter in a book where the chapters are
endless
and they`re always the same
a verse, then a verse, and refrain
Oh, baby, I wonder - if when you are older -
someday-
you`ll wake up
and say, `My God, I should have told her -
what would it take?
But now here I am and the world`s gotten colder
and she`s got the river down which I sold her.`
