God Give Me Strength — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

(words sung by the character in the movie given in brackets)

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength

cause Im weak in her [his] wake

And if Im strong I might still break

And I dont have anything to share

That I wont throw away into the air



That song is sung out

This bell is rung out [this belle is wrung out]

[he] she was the light that Id bless

[he] she took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength, God give me strength



I cant hold onto [him] her, God give me strength

When the phone doesnt ring

And Im lost in imagining

Everything that kind of love is worth

As I tumble back down to the earth



That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

[he] she was the light that Id bless

[he] she took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength,



God if [hed] shed grant me [his] her indulgence and decline

I might as well wipe [him] her from my memory

Fracture the spell as [he] she becomes my enemy

Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt

See, Im only human, I want him to hurt

I want him

I want him to hurt



[instrumental]

Since I lost the power to pretend

That there could ever be a happy ending



That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

[he] she was the light that Id bless

[he] she took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength, God give me strength
