Heath McNease - Ottawa, the Capital [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Ottawa, the Capital
I see birds flying south, while I'm headed up
I'd trade places with them
Cause I've gone far enough
And I hope the capital is easy on me
A wing and a prayer and the hope of a fool
It's the blind optimism you lost in your youth
And I hope that Ottawa is easy on me

Easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to death and defeat

I can tell that my love lost the light in her eyes
Her voice jut grows colder with every mile
And I know it's all just a matter of time
Cause apologies don't mean the much in the end
There's doubt in this city, and I can't pretend
That she ain't already left in her mind

Go easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to death and defeat

Easy on me, easy on me
This ain't what I saw in my dreams

Parliament lives in its own fairytale
The American embassy looks like a prison cell (mmm)

Go easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to death and defeat

Easy on me, easy on me
This ain't what I saw in my dreams

Easy on me, easy on me
I'm too close to death and defeat
