Last Boat Leaving — текст песни (Elvis Costello)





Hush my little one dont cry so

You know your daddys bound to go

They took his pride

They took his voice

Dont upset him now, dont make a noise

They said "youre lucky son youve still got a choice"

Last boat leaving



Dont waste your tears

Its not as if Im in chains

I dont want to go now, it would be better for

You, too, if I dont look back when we sail



Hush my dear, while I whisper it in your ear

Were not going to sail tonight

Were going to disappear

And it feels like a punishment, but I dont know what for

Take care of your mother, son, its you that she adores

cos no matter how long we sail well never reach the shore

Last boat leaving



So dry your tears

Its not as if Im in chains

When you go to school, son, youll read my story in history books

Only they wont mention my name



So hush now, my darling, my sweet little one

I hope that you never have to do what Ive done

Do you know what Ive done?

Why Im going away? on the last boat leaving this stinking town

Its the last boat leaving, its the last boat leaving



Youve had my innocence, youve had my heartbreak

Youve taken the place where I once belonged

Now what more can you take?
