Directions — текст песни (Carole King)

DIRECTIONS
by Carole King

They tell me
When I`ve got my life on my mind
They`re sorry
But they can`t do a thing about it till tomorrow

I tell them
Now I don`t want a lot of your time
Maybe they listen
Oh, but what do they know of my pain and my sorrow

Oooh, what will it cost you
After how many tears I`ve cried
How much longer must I try

Directions presenting themselves every day
Are bypassed
Cause of somebody else`s foolish limitations
Rejections-many have I had in my way
But I go on, yes I do now, and try to
overcome the bad vibrations

Oooh, what does it get you
Stealing somebody else`s pride
How much longer must I try

I can see all the things of which I`ve dreamed
If I dream any longer-What will it mean

Reflections
Of all I have wanted so long
Still are with me
As I ask myself how much longer must I try
