The Hardy Boys - Dear Seamus Heaney [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Midnight snowfall in the sleeping north
A black dog at the gate again
Mind-soothing crimson wine and
Alabaster books
Lamp shadows veil the plaster ceiling
Slow-dance snowfall in the freezing north
A black dog at the gate again
Mood-soothing capsules and
Therapeutic books
Deep shadows shroud the plaster ceiling

[Pre-Chorus]

Fifteen years of
An unheated room
Signs that weren't there
Clocks in the room
In that harsh chair
Staring for hours
Breath fissuring out of me and
Fixed eyes like stars

[Chorus]

And I
Lift tired eyes to the sky
Dear Seamus Heaney I
Hold my boy to my chest
Snug as a gun
Lift salt eyes to the sky
Dear Seamus Heaney I
Hold my girl to my chest
Snug as a gun

Snow-soft footfalls in the freezing west
A still moon shines its silver light
The whiskey bottle twisted
Metal on glass
Another night of echoes and falling

[Pre-Chorus]

Sixteen years old
An unheated room
Signs that weren't there
Clocks in the room
In that bleak chair
Staring for hours
Breath fissuring out of me and
Fixed eyes like stars

[Chorus]

And I
Lift tired eyes to the sky
Dear Seamus Heaney I
Hold my boy to my chest
Snug as a gun
Lift salt eyes to the sky
Dear Seamus Heaney I
Hold my girl to my chest
Snug as a gun
