Farewell
Angelina as sung by Joan Baez Fare(D)well Angelina, the (G)bells of the (D)crown, Being stolen by bandits, I must (G)follow the (D)sound. The triangle tingles, the (G)trumpets plays (A)slow. Fare(F#m)well Ange(Bm)lina, the (F#m)sky is on (Bm)fire, (G)and I must (D)go. There's no need for anger, there's no need for blame. There is nothing to prove, everything's still the same. Just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea, Means farewell Angelina, the sky's trembling, and I must leave. The jack and the queen have forsaked the courtyard. Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard. In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild, Farewell Angelina, the sky is falling, I'll see you in a while. See the cross-eyed pirate sitting perched in the sun, Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun. And the neighbours they clap and they cheer with each blast, Farewell Angelina, the sky is changing colour, and I must leave fast. King Kong little elves on the rooftops they dance, Valentino-type tangos while they make up man's hands. Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone, Farewell Angelina, the sky is embarrassed, and I must be gone. Machine guns are roaring, the puppets heave rocks, The fiends nail time bombs to the hands of the clocks. Call me any name you like, I will never deny it, Farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, I must go where it is quiet. alles-uke.de |
