Want — текст песни (Rufus Wainwright)

I don`t want to make it rain

I just want to make it simple

I don`t want to see the light

I just want to see the flashlight

I don`t want to know the answers

To any of your questions

I don`t want, no I really don`t want

To be John Lennon or Leonard Cohen

I just want to be my dad

With a slight sprinkling of my mother

And work at the family store

And take orders from the counter

I don`t want to know the answers

To any of your questions

I don`t want, no I really don`t want

To be John Lithgow or Jane Curtin

But I`ll settle for love

Yeah I`ll settle for love



Before I reached the gate

I realized I had packed my passport

Before security I realized

I had one more bag left

I just want to know

If something`s coming for to get me

Tell me, will you make me sad or happy

And will you settle for love

Will you settle for love
