Movement IiiCrypt — текст песни (Paul McCartney)

Shanty

And so it was that I had grown

Into a youth uncertain, thrown

Amongst the lions and the lambs.

To pass the time we watched the children dance.



I used to come here when this place was a crypt.

Now the music plays.

Oh dont you sometimes wish theyd stick to the script

As the local preacher says.



Rain from heaven will blessings bring,

Behold the harvest grown. r

Ian from heaven falls down on you,

But me, I feel alone.



Preacher (sympathetically)

Alone.



Shanty

Alone.



Preacher

If they wont come to worship

God in a church

Something must be done.

We have to instigate a nationwide search

For a way to make it fun.

Rain from heaven will blessings bring,

Behold the harvest grown.



Shanty and preacher

Rain from heaven falls down on you,



Shanty

But me, I feel alone.

Alone.



Here now,

What am I doing here now?

Hear me,

Why do you never hear me?

Why do you never hear me?



Mary dee (as half-ghost)

Ill always be here.

Ill never leave you.

Ill always be in your mind.

Dreams of the future,

Ghosts of the past left behind.



Womens chorus

(ah)



Shanty

Thought I had a vision

Lying in a graveyard,

Thought I heard a melody inside.

Could it be the future,

Speaking with the voice of those who died?



Thought I saw a kingdom,

Happiness and laughter,

Somewhere for an innocent to play.

Is there any justice?

Do these things still happen in this way?



Mary dee

Dont tell him no,

It isnt fair.

For he was told by those who know

There was love everywhere.



Shanty

Love everywhere.



Mary dee

Nows the time to tell him,

While his mothers crying.

Break it to him gently as she weeps.

Let him know his father

Will be well looked after, where he sleeps.



Chorus (ghosts)

Hes sleeping amongst us.

Hes in our dreams.

Dont worry. hes with us now.



Shanty

Dont say its so,

It isnt fair.

For I was told by those who know

There was love everywhere.



Alone.
