Planet Earth Song — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

VERSE
Down Silver Avenue in rain and mist
You`re lookin` for Easy Street which don`t exist
And count the years, yes, and count the years
You smash the mirrored walls and you cut your fist
You can`t control yourself, you can`t resist
And shed a tear, oh, yes, and shed a tear

CHORUS #1
Gotta love to live
Gotta wild, old, rambling road, boy

VERSE
You`ve seen the queen of hearts get torn in half
Beneath the chandelier, the golden calf
And diamond rings, yes, yes, yes and diamond rings
You`ve seen them factories and railroad yards
And silver moonlit walls with windows barred
And all these thing, oh, yes, and all these things

CHORUS #2
Gotta love to live
Gotta long, old, winding road, boy

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

VERSE
And back in Baltimore the morning came
Her face was paradise--you hear her name
Can`t break her spell, oh, no, you can`t break her spell
She`s bound for distant lands and she won`t be back
Her voice was soft and sweet, her skin so black
And fare you well, oh, say well, well, well and fare you well

CHORUS #3
Gotta love to live
Gotta lost, old, lonesome road, boy
