Testo Marble City Bar - Jackie Leven
Testo della canzone Marble City Bar (Jackie Leven), tratta dall'album Forbidden Songs of the Dying West
If you ever go to the marble city
Of Kilkenny in the month of May
Remember me to the bank of the river
Where I first noticed I was fading away...
There is a castle with children a-playing
There is a father who will say hello
He doesn't have to – that's just the way
He's feeling –
And that's such a long way to go
Oh don't pick me 'cos I'm not playing
I 'm just staring into space
I can't hear a single word you're saying
There' s nothing happening behind this face
I' m just a man and I'm on my own
I hear strange news from another star
I' m just a man and I'm on my own
Dreaming of the marble city bar
Well I crossed the bridge
And I walked down slowly
Through the reeds to the watermill
The sun was cold in the time of losing
I stood all alone in the Irish chill
I was tempted there to take my life
The water flashed by like the blade of a knife
The roar of the rive rose up to the sky
And I knew nobody would hear my cry...
'Hey Jackie – we were looking for you
You'll catch your death out here,
And your beers getting cold –
So why don' t you come back in?'
Oh don't pick me 'cos I'm not playing
I 'm just staring into space
I can't hear a single word you're saying
There' s nothing happening behind this face
I' m just a man and I'm on my own
I hear strange news from another star
I' m just a man and I'm on my own
Dreaming of the marble city bar
