The Granite Shore - Be that as it may [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[I]
[Songwriter]: There are some things set in stone;
And it’s best if they’re left well alone
Our positions marked, the hierarchy set
All the ghosts have joined us too;
The ideas, the songs, the people who
We left behind; have they caught us yet?
[Band]: Be that as it may;
You must still have something left to say...
[Songwriter]: ...I’m not sure that I do

[II]
[Songwriter]: Though there were moments when I felt
The earth move and the ice caps melt
Though it sometimes seemed we were held in place by twine
Even then I never knew
If the rest of you could feel it too
Or if the only blood that ever thrilled was mine
[Band]: Be that as it may;
Someone has to count us off and
You know none of us can stay
Be that as it may;
This could be our one last chance...
[Songwriter]: Okay!
Once more from the top

[III]
[Band]: Be that as it may;
It’s cold in here and won’t get warmer...
[Songwriter]: ...sometime even I’ll go grey
[Band]: Be that as it may;
We fought like cats and dogs...
[Songwriter]: ...but we are family, especially when we play
[Band]: Be that as it may;
The good we’ve done just might live on
[Songwriter]: ...and God but we were good on our day
[Band]: But be that as it may;
Of course we used to feel it just as you did...
[Songwriter]: ...well, that’s something anyway
[Band]: Be that as it may;
The time...
[Songwriter]: ...I know...
[Band]: ...is now upon us...
[Songwriter]: ...we’re all stuff and nonsense...
[Band]: ...so you say!
Be that as it may;
You wrote our lines...
[Songwriter]: ...yes they were mine...
[Band]: ...and we were only
Actors in your play
[All]: Well be that as it may;
Our little live performance...
[Songwriter]: Oh yes...
[Band]: ...come on!
[Songwriter]: Once more from the top...
[All]: Just play!
