Big Black Car

Tú eras un fonógrafo, yo era un niño
You were a phonograph, I was a kid
Me senté con un oído cerca, solo escuchando
I sat with an ear close, just listening
Yo estaba allí cuando la lluvia golpeaba su camino por tu cara
I was there when the rain tapped her way down you face
Fuiste un milagro, solo estaba aguantando tu espacio
You were a miracle, I was just holdin your space

Bueno, el tiempo tiene una forma de tirarlo todo en tu cara
Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
El pasado, ella está encantada, el futuro está atado
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Heartbreak, ya sabes, conduce un gran auto negro
Heartbreak, ya know, drives a big black car
Juro que estaba en el asiento trasero, solo ocupándome de lo mío
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own

Y a través del cristal, los cuervos de maíz vienen como lluvia
And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
No se quedarán, no se quedarán
They won't stay, they won't stay
Por mucho tiempo ahora
For too long now

Esto podría ser todo lo que sabemos
This could be all that we know
De amor y todo
Of love and all

Bueno, tú eras un bailarín, yo era un trapo
Well you were a dancer, I was a rag
La canción en mi cabeza, bueno, era todo lo que tenía
The song in my head, well was all that I had
La esperanza fue una carta que nunca pude enviar
Hope was a letter I never could send
El amor era un país que no podíamos defender
Love was a country we couldn't defend

Y a través del carnaval los vemos dar vueltas y vueltas
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
Todo lo que sabíamos de casa era solo una puesta de sol y algunos payasos
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns

Bueno, tú eras una revista, yo era un simple Jane
Well you were a magazine, I was a plain jane
Solo caminando por las aceras todo cubierto de lluvia
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Me encanta entrar en una de tus historias
Love to just get into one of your stories
Yo y toda mi simple gloria jane
Me and all of my plain jane glory
Solo yo y toda mi simple gloria jane
Just me and all of my plain jane glory
