The Cape — текст песни (mattea kathy)

(Guy Clark/Susanna Clark/Jim Janosky)
Eight years old with a floursack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
He`s figurin` what the heck
Well, he screwed up his courage up so tight
That the whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin` start and bless his heart
He`s headed for the ground
Well (yes) he`s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
Now he`s all grown up with a floursack cape
Tied all around his dreams
And he`s full of spit and vinegar
And he`s bustin` at the seams
Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind
It`s gonna be do or die
He wasn`t scared of nothin` boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
Well (yes) he`s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
Now he`s old and gray with a floursack cape
Tied all around his head
He`s still jumpin` off the garage
And will be till he`s dead
All these years the people said
He was actin` like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
Well (yes) he`s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
Well (yes) he`s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
And always trust your cape
