Текст (слова) песни: Elvis Costello - Couldn`t Call It Unexpected No.4
I saw a girl who`d 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 "They`ve got his bones and everything he owns I`ve got his name"
Well you can laugh at this sentimental story But in time you`ll 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 We`ll I`m 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 mother`s face So toll the bell or rock the cradle Please don`t let me fear anything I cannot explain I can`t believe, I`ll never believe in anything again
