Blue Valentine — текст песни (Tom Waits)

She sends me blue valentines

All the way from philadelphia

To mark the anniversary

Of someone that I used to be

And it feels just like theres

A warrant out for my arrest

Got me checkin in my rearview mirror

And Im always on the run

Thats why I changed my name

And I didnt think youd ever find me here



To send me blue valentines

Like half forgotten dreams

Like a pebble in my shoe

As I walk these streets

And the ghost of your memory

Is the thistle in the kiss

And the burgler that can break a roses neck

Its the tatooed broken promise

That I hide beneath my sleeve

And I see you every time I turn my back



She sends me blue valentines

Though I try to remain at large

Theyre insisting that our love

Must have a eulogy

Why do I save all of this madness

In the nightstand drawer

There to haunt upon my shoulders

Baby I know

Id be luckier to walk around everywhere I go

With a blind and broken heart

That sleeps beneath my lapel



She sends me my blue valentines

To remind me of my cardinal sin

I can never wash the guilt

Or get these bloodstains off my handa

And it takes a lot of whiskey

To take this nightmares go away

And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite

And I die a little more on each st. valentines day

Remember that I promised I would

Write you...

These blue valentines

blue valentines

blue valentines
