Вступление
Lyrics by Woody Guthrie
Music by Jackson Browne
[Intro]
[Verse]
You know the night I met you
My eyes had been looking for you all over everywhere
Over low roads, down highways
And bald deserts
[Chorus]
You know the night (You know the night)
You know the night (You know the night), I met you
[Verse]
Your eyes had this same shine about them, I noticed
When I first looked through the wild wayward mist
I felt such a warm friendly cool sunny smile
That I wanted to look in your eyes for all time
And I felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel
I just felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel
[Chorus]
You know the night (You know the night)
You know the night (You know the night)
Did you feel this way too when I met you
You know the night (You know the night), I first met you (You know the night)
[Verse]
Did you look at me and think here's this guy who hopes like I hope
And sees the same kind of dreams I see?
Because you wondered I know, if your hopes could find shape
In the words that we used there to work back the fog
Your hopes and your plans for the good of the people
Could all of your hundred and one dreams just as bright as the sun
And all of your wants and your hottest desires find shape in the flow of my talk
[Chorus]
You know the night (You know the night)
You know the night (You know the night), I first met you
[Verse]
And if my jellied brain turns to ashes and sand
There will still be such night smiles across all the land
There will still be such faces meeting here in the dark
And there around the corner or maybe in the park
It's when we meet this way and look at each other
We get a hold of our scattered aims and we bring them and beat them and
Wrestle and fight them and heat them, and beat them and weld them together
Like iron from the valley, and fire from the sky
Like iron from the valley, and fire from the sky
Like iron from the valley, and fire from the sky
This blast furnace heat burns in our peoples eyes
[Chorus]
You know the night (You know the night)
You know the night (You know the night)
[Verse]
You know the night I met you
My eyes had been looking for you all over everywhere
Over low roads, down highways
Bald deserts
And I felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel
I just felt like you feel when you feel like the angels are curling your hair
And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel
[Outro]
