Black Throated Wind — текст песни (Grateful Dead)

You`re bringing me down, I`m running aground,
Blind in the lights of the interstate cars,
Passing me by, the busses and the semis,
Plugging like stones from a slingshot from mars.

But I`m here on the road, bound to the load,
That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars.
Alone with the rush of the drivers that won`t pick me up,
The highway, the moon, and clouds and the stars.

Black throated wind, keeps on pourin` in,
With it`s words of a life where nothing is new,
Ah, mother American night, I pass from the light,
Ah, I`m drownin` in you.

I left St. Louie, city of blues,
In the midst of a storm I`d rather forget.
I tried to pretend it came to an end,
Cause you weren`t the women I once thought I`d met.

But I can`t deny, times have gone by,
Well I never had doubts or thoughts of regret,
And I was a man when all this began,
Who wouldn`t think twice about being there yet.

Black throated wind, whisper in sin,
And speaking on life that passes like dew.
It`s forced me to see you`ve done better by me,
Better by me that I`ve done by you.

Now what`s to be found by racing around,
you carry your pain wherever you go,
Full of blues, and tryin` to lose,
You ain`t gonna learn what you don`t wanna know.

So I give you my eyes and all of their lies,
Please help them to learn as well as to see.
Capture a glance, and make it dance,
But looking at you is looking at me.

Black throated wind, keeps on pourin` in,
With it`s words of a life that could almost be true,
Ah, mother American night, here comes a light.
I`m turning around, that`s what I`m gonna do.

Going back home that`s what I`m gonna do.
I`m turning around, that`s what I`m gonna do.
Going back home that`s what I`m gonna do.
Cause you`ve done better by me than I`ve done by you,
I`m drowning in you.
