Valerie — текст песни (Linda Ronstadt)

To the east the factories stand
Like fire breathing dragons against the sky
And from their throats a scarlet river
Burns itself into smoky lullabies
Over neon and fluorescent skies

Valerie can you hear those engines drone
I wanted to go to Mexico
But I`m stranded here alone
And once I knew a true love
It`s been three years since he`s gone
And if I could get that feeling back
I`d give up everything I own

Sixteen days since I left Corona
And I traveled to this carnival town near Alberndeel
And I rode the coaster there on the fairground
Twisted backbone of a beast that never heals
And I left some skin on fortune`s wheel

Valerie can you hear those engines drone
I wanted to go to Mexico
But I`m stranded here alone
And once I knew a true love
It`s been three years since he`s gone
And if I could get that feeling back
I`d give up everything I own

Everything`s in slow motion now
In this little border town
I`ve come so close from so far
Just to hide behind these windows here
From the world outside
I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
Down the road as they pass by

Valerie can you hear those engines drone
I wanted to go to Mexico
But I`m stranded here alone
And once I knew a true love
It`s been three years since he`s gone
And if I could get that feeling back
I`d give up everything I own
Everything I own
Everything I own
