Kathleen English / Английский язык

Lay down my head by the wayside My worn out shoes. Quite why she went I can’t decide, Yeah, but I sure could use. One plate of food steaming and hot, Clean linen ironed On a fresh made bed, but I ain’t got One salty dime, one salty dime. Just close your eyes, it won’t take long, It won’t hurt a bit. Telling myself I could be strong Or some such brave bullshit. Trucks are roaring by I’m a red ghost In their tail light gleam. I’m a tumbleweed, I’m a spit roast Just turning in your flame, Oh, my darlin’ Kathleen. Cars, they sound like waves, that are breaking On some distant shore. I gazed so hard into the great aching sky. It seemed that I, I wasn’t here no more. My rushing blood was a river, My eyes two stars. My blowing hair all a quiver A whispering field of grass, That murmurs as you pass, Oh, my darlin’ Kathleen. That whispers out your name, Oh, my darlin’ Kathleen, Oh, my darlin’ Kathleen.
