Origineel
[Verse 1]
Charleston begs for broken glass
And the morning clouds are blue
This little house is hardly us
But I keep that bed from you
Time will take our breath away
The shade from under the tree
But the quiet moon’s come back to bed
And you just woke up
From a dirty dream
[Verse 2]
The harbor boats go back and forth
And the eyes come on at night
Someone stole your baby clothes
But I tried to treat you right
Time will grind our bodies down
And the mountains into the sea
Will the kisses flee?
And you just woke up
From a dirty dream
About you and me
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Charleston smeekt om gebroken glas
And the morning clouds are blue
This little house is hardly us
But I keep that bed from you
Time will take our breath away
De schaduw van onder de boom
Maar de stille maan is terug naar bed gekomen
En jij bent net wakker geworden
Uit een vieze droom
[Vers 2]
De havenboten varen heen en weer
And the eyes come on at night
Iemand heeft je babykleertjes gestolen
Maar ik heb geprobeerd je goed te behandelen
De tijd zal onze lichamen vermalen
En de bergen in de zee
Zullen de kussen vluchten?
En jij bent net wakker geworden
From a dirty dream
Over jou en mij
