Gilbert Green — текст песни (Bee Gees)

On a hill , inside a house in covewell reach ,

Stands a man whos feeling very tired

Looking at a song he wrote some time ago

Could have made it big inside a broadway show

Every day I go away and find ideas

Think, Ill climb on top of somewhere high

Couldnt I write a song about a man whos dead

Didnt really know if he was off his head



Evrybody knows , thats the way it goes

Too bad for gilbert green

We can tell the world that he was right



Sitting in his attic on a sunny day

Mending 50 goblets that are worn

Humming to himself a song of yesteryear

His hearing wasnt good but his eyes were clear



Evrybody knows, thats the way it goes

Too bad for gilbert green

We can tell the world that he was right



Now the house is burnt along with gilbert green

Sad to see his sisters stand and cry

And in the basement lies a song that wasnt seen

Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans



Evrybody knows, thats the way it goes

Too bad for gilbert green

Now we can tell the world that he was right
