Al Stewart - Apple Cider Re-Constitution [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
When we came to the station, all the trains were rusty
The doors were open and the windows broken in
There was grass in all the cracks and the air hung musty
The travel posters were flappin' in the wind
So, we moved through the dust and gloom
Playin' waiting games in the waiting room
Lay our sleepin' bags out on the floor

[Chorus]
And on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to me
With apple cider, leaves me here without a place to go

[Verse 2]
If I followed the coast road, I'd be home by evenin'
The harbor lights still cut across the bay
From the slot machine arcade the lights go streamin'
To the bikes outside the rock 'n roll cafe
Ah, but you know those small town blues
Are really too much to lose
There's nothin' really there to go back for

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Any railway station would be just fine, fine, fine
To settle down and wash the cobwebs from your head
Oh, if your situation's runnin' dry, dry, dry
Find a waiting room beneath the stars to make your bed
You know London can make your brain stall
The streets get cold and empty on a rainy night
So you duck into the subway station, you can hear the trains call, They wanna take you to the Earl's Court Road but it don't seem right
Cause there's na na na noowah on the jukebox
Singin' in the burger bar, see the people's faces
In the passin' cars don't want to know

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
You have the most appealing surface I have seen
Bring it over here, lay it down by me
Don't mean to make you nervous, I just mean
To make you see, this is the place to be
When we came to the station, all the trains were rusty
The air was empty and the platforms overgrown
There were old tin cans and cats and the doors were crusted
With mud and leaves and names carved long ago
And the rails go on forever in a silver trail
To the setting sun, you can follow them
Anywhere you want to go

[Chorus]
