Under These Clouds — текст песни (Patty Griffin)

She says I deserve much better than this
It`s getting pretty plain to see
She tells her boss,"here`s my butt,
Why don`t you give it a kiss-
You got all you`re gonna get outta me"
Twenty years ago with time in a glass
Graduation day to pave the way
Nothing to show but a life moving too fast
And a fear of almost everything
And a fear of almost everything

But they say get down under these clouds
I was born down under these clouds
So I stand up and sing it out loud
Someone`s still alive under their shroud
And I don`t wanna die
Under these clouds

Her momma tried real hard not to pass it along
And so her Momma did before that
Somewhere, some day,
Someone`s singin` their song
How everything good goes bad
And it really was a gradual thing
Passed as easy as a cigarette
You wake up one day wrapped in a ball of string
Feelin` nothing good`s happened to you yet
Feels like nothing good`s happened to you yet

But they say get down under these clouds
I was born down under these clouds
So I stand up and sing it out loud
Someone`s still alive under their shroud
And I don`t wanna die
Under these clouds
