Elvis Costello - Couldnt Call It Unexpected No. 4 текст песни

I saw a girl whod found her consolation

She said "one day my prince of peace will come"

Above her head a portrait of her father

The wilted favour that he gave her still fastened to the frame

"theyve got his bones and everything he owns

Ive got his name"

Well you can laugh at this sentimental story

But in time youll have to make amends

The sudden chill where lovers doubt their immortality

As the clouds cover the sky the evening ends

Describing a picture of eyes finally closing

As you sometimes glimpse terrible faces in the fire

Well Im the lucky goon

Who composed this tune

From birds arranged on the high wire

Who on earth is tapping at the window?

Does that face still linger at the pane?

I saw you shiver though the room was like a furnace

A shadow of regret across a young mothers face

So toll the bell or rock the cradle

Please dont let me fear anything I cannot explain

I cant believe, Ill never believe in anything again
