Poncho`s Lament — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Well the stairs sound so lonely without you
And I ain`t made my bed in a week
Coffee stains on the paper I`m writing
And I`m too choked up inside to speak

And Yes, I know our differences pulled us apart
Never spoke a word heart to heart
And I`m glad that you`re gone
But I wish to the lord that you`d come home
And I`m glad that you`re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I`m glad that you`re gone
But I wish to the lord that you`d come home

Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
though the strings have been outta tune for some time
Every time I strum a cord, I pray out to the lord
That you`ll quit your honkey-tonkin` sing my song
And I`m glad that you`re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I`m glad that you`re gone
But I wish to the lord that you`d come home

So I`ll throw another log onto the fire
And I`ll admit I`m a lousy liar
As the coals die down and flicker
I hear that guitar picker
Play the song we used to sing so long ago
I`m glad that you`re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I`m glad that you`re gone
But I wish to the lord that you`d come home
And I`m glad, damn glad you`re gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I`m glad that you`re gone
But I wish to the lord that you`d come home
