James Mcmurtry - Charlemagne's Home Town

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   

I’ve got it all to myself now


Crack the window just a hair


Dark and close, the way I like it


Black tobacco chokes the air


I keep to myself, I lack the language


I measure out my life with coffee grounds


The trees are the color of ashes


In Charlemagne’s home town 





I said I didn’t fear the distance


As if I’d ever been that tough


I can hear your voice across the water


But that’s nowhere near enough 





Won’t you fly across that ocean


Take a train on down


Because the night’s growing lonesome


In Charlemagne’s home town 





The fortune teller told me nothing


That I wouldn’t have found out on my own


She read my palm and she took my money


She looked at me with eyes of stone 





She said the odds are long and stacked against us


Still we try because we must 


To keep from leaving our senses


Long forgotten in the dust 





Like the bones of some saint


Beneath a church floor


Who must have died for lack of light


The color snapshots I sent you


All came out in black and white 





There’s a lonely child on a snow white pony


On a carousel in the market place


He sits on that horse and he looks right through me


A shadow falls across his face


What will I do when my glass is empty


What will I do when it all comes down


What will I do when it comes to nothing


In Charlemagne’s home town
