The Amazing Devil - Marbles текст песни

Исполнитель: The Amazing Devil

альбом: The Horror and the Wild


I've held your hand since 1979
You were in a band (still am), yeah, but back then
You had hair and your smile was so sublime
And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked
You used to buy me scotch (still do), yeah
But now too much is never enough
To take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out
'Cause they thought you were drunk (I wasn't)
You couldn't lie then, and you sure as hell can't lie to me now

You stole the best years of my life (I'll give them back)
You got fat, and you're the thigh-high hemline
I just can't stop staring at
'Cause I will, I will wait and hope
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
And I will, I will wait and hope
Rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles went

The flat we rented was a palace for my queen
If by palace you mean that asbestos and beans from a tin
And the gin that we brewed in the bathtub
She sang, "Do you think I'm sexy?" and, oh God, I really did

You'd swoon, you'd sigh, working shifts 'til we cried
Oh, if one more guy calls me "darling" then I
Swear to you and to God, I will murder them all
All the bastards applaud when I show that I'm flawed
You're not flawed, darling, you're just a little under-rehearsed
And I'd get in
And for some reason, you painted the kitchen lime green
And I'd sink to the floor, what's the point any more?
And you, you'd reply
With a glint in your eye (with a drink in your hand)
Saying, "I don't know, but I'm here
Oh, dear God (I'm all yours), dear heart, don't cry"
'Cause I will wait, I will wait and hope
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
And I will wait, I will wait and hope
Rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles went

I've loved you for a hundred years
Certainly fucking feels like it
The minute I met you, the colours of my life began to pour
I'm scared of the dark
And now, even though you're mad, and these memories won't stay
That's okay
'Cause now I get to meet you for the first time every single day
And I will wait and hope
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
And I will wait and hope
Rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles
I will wait
And I will wait (I will wait)
And I will wait and hope
And I will wait (I will wait and)
And I will wait
And I will wait and hope
