Some Will Rake The Coals — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

A perfect stranger might could make you smile,
Might could take your mind off your despair for half a while,
But time moves quickly, strangers look like friends,
Friends might fall in love and perfect strangers might pretend
And so it happens,
Take a look around,
Some will rake the coals
And some will burn a wedding gown.

The sad romantics fail to grasp the world,
Fail to recognize there ain`t no perfect boy or girl
And so keep fumbling, feelin` incomplete,
Makin` love and breakin` hearts and searchin` on the street
And so it happens,
Take a look around,
Some will rake the coals
And some will burn a wedding gown.

And look at me
(or maybe don`t, now)
Hey, yeah, look at me
(or maybe don`t, now)
Look at me
(or maybe don`t, now)
Hey, yeah, look at me
(or maybe don`t, now)

And Charlie Chaplin had to realize
Eighteen year old Oona made a golden final prize,
And Warren Beatty must have gotten scared
When Madonna made him fin`ly see he`d lost some hair
And so it happens,
Take a look around,
Some will rake the coals
And some will burn a wedding gown,
Some will rake the coals
And some will burn a wedding gown.
