4th of July — текст песни (blues traveler)

Music & lyrics: john popper



Well she hated the 4th of july

Bombs bursting in air, and shed never know why

Shed keep me up all night, too terrified to cry

Oh yes, she hated 4th of july



Dont you be scared, dont you start to shake

Go back to sleep because I am wide awake

Im right here, Im not going anywhere tonight

Feel my hand, Im gonna hold you till the early light



And when the thunder clapped, shed run to me afraid

She tried to be brave, but she couldnt figure out the terrible sound it made

I was smarter, but she just couldnt see

And when the thunder clapped, shed always run to me



Dont you be scared, dont you start to shake

Go back to sleep because I am wide awake

Im right here, Im not going anywhere tonight

Feel my hand, Im gonna hold you till the early light



Oh yes, she loved the world on a crisp, autumn day

The leaves would turn her color, the children were at play

Sit on hilltops with her, shed smile as if to say

You couldnt touch the world when autumn comes this way



And I dont believe she cared for getting old

The limbs move a little slower, the hearing just goes cold

One day she looked at me through a gray haired eye

And I couldnt believe she was telling me good bye



Dont you be scared, dont you start to shake

Go back to sleep because I am wide awake

Im right here, Im not going anywhere tonight

Feel my hand, Im gonna hold you till the early light



And I do believe her soul was rich and blue

We taught each other lessons, lessons that we knew

When we kept growing, there was nothing we could do

But I loved her and I know she loved me too



Now you can call me a sentimental fool

But I learned more from her than I ever did in school

I still get apprehensive, I still remember why

When the thunder claps or its the 4th of july



Dont you be scared, dont you start to shake

Go back to sleep because I am wide awake

Im right here, Im not going anywhere tonight

Feel my hand, Im gonna hold you till the early light



Oh yes she hated the 4th of july
