Way Back Then — текст песни (John Prine)

Night is falling

Were doing the things we do

You are acting just like me

Im acting just like you

Do you remember

When you were my friend?

Thats the way Id like things

Just like way back then



Babys sleeping

Brother is on the run

I am out undoing

All the good Ive done

If you loved me

Tell you what I would do

Wrap the world in silver foil

Bring it home to you.



Lately I feel

That I cant pretend

I may never ever see

The likes of you again

I take a walk, I come back home

Then I sit a spell

Watch the ponies dance around

The empty wishing well.



Night has fallen

Ive said the things I did

The only baby sleeping

Is when I was a kid

Do you remember

When you were my friend?

Thats the way Id like things

Just like way back then.
