Текст песни
[Куплет 1] Old manuel sits where the salt grass leans With a cedar guitar worn smooth and brown He knows the tide by its silver seams And the names of the ships that left this town [Припев] By the quiet shore, when the moon rides high He sings of a love that went and came A hand let go, then a hand held tight And the years still answer to her name [Куплет 2] She came back one spring with a market-stall rose And a laugh he remembered through every year They spoke of the roads that had pulled them apart While the small waves folded their talk to the pier [Припев] By the quiet shore, when the moon rides high He sings of a love that went and came A hand let go, then a hand held tight And the years still answer to her name [Бридж] Now her shawl rests warm on the chair beside him Her footsteps keep time in the sand He plays the old tune, and she hums the answer Their seasons gathered hand in hand [Аутро] Old manuel strums as the tide turns slow Two shadows lean where the sea grasses grow
