Japanese to English — текст песни (Red House Painter)

i went as far as losing sleep
i went as far as messing up my life
unloving still strike me different
a million miles away from home
and fifteen from a payphone

where we sat lonely on the sand

you`re ten years older
we translate japanese to english
and english to japanese

it`s not that simple
this dictionary never has a word
for the way i`m feeling
it`s nothing plain for me
of a different god and moral
what if i laid my head down on your stomach
or put my mouth to your hand
i cannot translate
japanese to english
or english to japanese

what i had to say is unsaid
what i had to do is undone
and if it was done
i`m sure it would have killed our hour

where we sat lonely on the stand

above the water the awful gray
our current from japan
didn`t sweep away
