The Man From Waco - Billy Horton Sessions - Charley Crockett translation in German

The Man From Waco - Billy Horton Sessions

The mirage of Del Rio it was burning in his eyes
And sleep had escaped him, too consumed by his pride
Like the lonesome and high country he was lost in a haze
And the thoughts of what he'd do if he unloaded all his rage
The man from Waco

The city was almost silent as he passed the humming signs
On the corner he heard laughter, made him afraid of what he'd find
He pushed through the door, hypnotized by a sound
Just then tears overcame him and his heart began to drown
The man from Waco

It was there that he shot her while the lovers were embraced
With the bullet he intended for the man who took his place
He cried through the night as he made his escape
But the rain that was fallin' could not wash away his shame
The man from Waco

On the banks of the Brazos, where the desert willow grows
The clear shallow water just won't say all it knows
A moment of burning anger can curse the living through the days
You can let that river take you but you will never get away
The man from Waco

Der Mann aus Waco - Billy Horton Sessions

Das Trugbild von Del Rio brannte in seinen Augen
Und Schlaf floh ihn, zu verzehrt von seinem Stolz
Wie die einsame Hochlande war er im Dunst verloren
Und Gedanken, was er täte, entlüde er all seine Wut
Der Mann aus Waco

Die Stadt war fast still, als er summende Schilder passierte
An der Ecke hörte er Lachen, fürchtete das Gefundene
Er drängte durch die Tür, hypnotisiert von einem Klang
Da übermannten Tränen ihn, sein Herz begann zu ertrinken
Der Mann aus Waco

Dort schoss er sie, als die Liebenden umarmt waren
Mit der Kugel für den Mann, der seinen Platz eingenommen
Er weinte durch die Nacht auf seiner Flucht
Doch der fallende Rein wusch nicht seine Schande fort
Der Mann aus Waco

Am Ufer des Brazos, wo Wüstenweiden wachsen
Klares seichtes Wasser sagt nicht, was es weiß
Ein Moment brennenden Zorns verflucht die Lebenden lange
Lass den Fluss dich nehmen, doch nie entkommst du ihm
Der Mann aus Waco
