Fill my eyes
O Lithium sunset
And take this lonesome burden
Of worry from my mind
Take this heartache
Of obsidian darkness
And fold my darkness
Into your yellow light
I′ve been scattered I′ve been shattered
I′ve been knocked out of the race
But I′ll get better
I feel your light upon my face
Heal my soul
O Lithium sunset
And I′ll ride the turning world
Into another night
See mercury falling
in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and I think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and I suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it′s day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
hmmmmmmmmm
could be the human race is run
like the moment when your brakes lock
and you slide toward the big truck
and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you′ll never hear their voices
and you′ll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore
Late dawns and early sunsets, just like my favorite scenes
Then holding hands and life was perfect, just like up on the screen
And the whole time while always giving
Counting your face among the living
Up and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains
Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains
Running away and hiding with you
I never thought they′d get me here
Not knowing you′d change from just one bite
I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But would anything matter if you′re already dead?
And well should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
And would anything matter if you′re already dead?
And now should I be shocked by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
And in saying you loved me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains,
And there′s no room in this hell,
There′s no room in the next,
And our memories defeat us,
And I′ll end this direst.
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But does anything matter if you′re already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
And in saying you loved me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains,
And there′s no room in this hell,
There′s no room in the next,
But does anyone notice there′s a corpse in this bed?
Дай досмотреть, как умирает день,
Как его сердце в океане тонет,
И ветер бесконечным вздохом стонет
Над миром, уходящим в тень…
Дай мне проститься с тем, что не вернёшь,
С тем, что нельзя себе оставить,
Воткнув в тускнеющую память
Последнего мгновенья нож…
Противно начинается тоска,
И здесь берёт печаль своё начало,
Здесь моё имя буквой «а» кричало
И рассыпалось на сверкание песка…
И больше нет ни веры, ни любви,
Ни мира, ни войны, лишь только мы,
Лишь солнца свет хрусталиками глаз
Просыпается сквозь нас…
И больше нет ни веры, ни любви,
Ни мира, ни войны лишь только мы,
Лишь солнца свет…
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)
The day is gone
when the angels come to stay
And all the silent whispers
will be blown away
And lying in the corner
a pair of high heel shoes
Hanging on the wall
gold and silver for the blues
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show
Someone is waiting behind
an unlocked door
Grey circles overhead empties
on the floor
The cracks in the walls have
grown too long
The slow hand is dragging on
afraid to meet the dawn
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show
