Translation
Bilingual
He wrote her name with a needle gun
In black and blue
"Your eyes are stone," she said
"Beautiful and dead, and I wish you well"
I took a turn on this carousel
How long ago now, I never can tell
I never stopped to wonder
Maybe a morning
Maybe a thousand years, hm-mm-mm
I only walk high wires
To tend an Eden of magnolias dying
Though I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, Lord, I wish love could live forever
What I once saw burning bright as hell
Now here comes that weird chill
Don't stop to wonder
Oh-oh, I threaded her name through the needle's eye
As it frayed
Tied the ends and stitched it up
Then hung my head down and wept
But I wish you well
Who'll pray for the killer's sake?
I used to be so wide awake
Mm-mm, like certain mornings
That last a thousand hours
Though I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, Lord, I wish love could live forever
I'm burning bright at hell
Here comes that weird chill
But I wish you well
"Your eyes are stone," she said
"Truly beautiful and dead, I wish you well"
I only ride on this carousel
But, I never really stop to wonder
