Room Off The Street — текст песни (Suzanne Vega)

Somewhere in a room

With a poster on a wall

Of a man with his hand

In a fist





Is a woman whos drinking

And her dress is so tight

You can see every breath

That she takes





Every sigh, every sway

You can hear everything that they say

Somethings begun like a war

Or a family or a friendship

Or a fast love affair





The man on the wall

Is his symbol of freedom

It means he has brothers

Who believe as he does





She is moved by

The thing that she sees in his face

Whe he talks of

The cause





Every sigh, every sway

You can hear everything that they say

Somethings begun like a war

Or a family or a friendship

Or a fast love affair





She leans against him

Her dress is so red

They talk of the salt

And the truth and the bread





The night goes along

The fan goes around

In the room off the street

At the end of the town





Every sigh, every sway

You can hear everything that they say

Somethings begun like a war

Or a family or a friendship

Or a fast love affair
