Standing At the Sky's Edge - Richard Hawley перевод на немецкий

Standing At the Sky's Edge

Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife
His hungry little children, he took their lives
This was the end of a desperate man
With only love in his eyes, no evil hands.
He was standing at the sky's edge
And out there who knows what he's thinking,
He was sliding down the razor's edge
And watched his life slowly sinking,
Away, away.

Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat
She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet
Stole a car and tried to get away
Now all she hears is the rain on the roof
At sky's edge jail.
She was standing at the sky's edge
And out there who knows what she's thinking
She was sliding down the razor's edge
And watched her life slowly sinking.
Away, away.

They were standing at the sky's edge,
And out there who knows what they're thinking.
They were sliding down the razor's edge
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
Away, away, away, away, away.

Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade,
So much fear in the city it carried him away.
Young men were fighting and loosing their lives
At night as the screech howls in the trees watch
Young men die.
They were standing at the sky's edge,
And out there who knows what they're thinking.
They were sliding down the razor's edge,
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
They were standing at the sky's edge,
And out there there's dangerous thinking,
They were standing at the mirror's edge,
And watched their lives slowly sinking,
Away, away, away, away, away.

Am Rand des Himmels stehen

Joseph war ein guter Mann, obwohl er seine Frau tötete
Seine hungrigen kleinen Kinder, er nahm ihnen das Leben
Das war das Ende eines verzweifelten Mannes
Mit nur Liebe in seinen Augen, keine bösen Hände.
Er stand am Rand des Himmels
Und da draußen, wer weiß, was er denkt,
Er glitt die Messerschneide hinab
Und sah sein Leben langsam versinken,
Weg, weg.

Mary war ein problembeladenes Mädchen, sie stahl, um zu essen
Sie musste ihren Körper verkaufen, um Schuhe an ihre Füße zu bekommen
Stahl ein Auto und versuchte zu entkommen
Jetzt hört sie nur noch den Regen auf dem Dach
Im Himmelrand-Gefängnis.
Sie stand am Rand des Himmels
Und da draußen, wer weiß, was sie denkt
Sie glitt die Messerschneide hinab
Und sah ihr Leben langsam versinken.
Weg, weg.

Sie standen am Rand des Himmels,
Und da draußen, wer weiß, was sie denken.
Sie glitten die Messerschneide hinab
Und sahen ihre Leben langsam versinken,
Weg, weg, weg, weg, weg.

Jacob war fehlgeleitet, er trug eine Klinge,
So viel Angst in der Stadt, sie riss ihn mit sich fort.
Junge Männer kämpften und verloren ihr Leben
Nachts, wenn der Schrei der Eule in den Bäumen hallt, sieh
Junge Männer sterben.
Sie standen am Rand des Himmels,
Und da draußen, wer weiß, was sie denken.
Sie glitten die Messerschneide hinab,
Und sahen ihre Leben langsam versinken,
Sie standen am Rand des Himmels,
Und da draußen gibt es gefährliches Denken,
Sie standen am Rand des Spiegels,
Und sahen ihre Leben langsam versinken,
Weg, weg, weg, weg, weg.
