Ponchos Lament — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Well the stairs sound so lonely without you

And I aint made my bed in a week

Coffee stains on the paper Im writing

And Im too choked up inside to speak



And yes, I know our differences pulled us apart

Never spoke a word heart to heart

And Im glad that youre gone

But I wish to the lord that youd come home

And Im glad that youre gone

Got the feeling so strong

And Im glad that youre gone

But I wish to the lord that youd 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 youll quit your honkey-tonkin sing my song

And Im glad that youre gone

Got the feeling so strong

And Im glad that youre gone

But I wish to the lord that youd come home



So Ill throw another log onto the fire

And Ill admit Im 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

Im glad that youre gone

Got the feeling so strong

And Im glad that youre gone

But I wish to the lord that youd come home

And Im glad, damn glad youre gone

Got the feeling so strong

And Im glad that youre gone

But I wish to the lord that youd come home
