Tom T. Hall - Shoes And Dress That Alice Wore

Текст

I'm humming as I walk this house and do my daily chores
When I put the broom away I see the dress that Alice wore
It's hanging in the closet sadly sagging without form
Empty dress there in the closet held a body soft and warm
Shoes and dress that Alice wore

It's the dress she wore the night she caught me lying there beside
Some strange woman meaning nothing just some bones and hair and hide
I could pot explain it to her and I cannot to this day
Now I stand here staring at the dress she wore to go away
Shoes and dress that Alice wore

And the shoes are red and shiny and they're modest in the heel
And the dress a bad investment and the color could be teal
She went screaming from the room where I lay blinking in the nude
With the woman there beside me saying ain't this woman rude
Shoes and dress that Alice wore

So, I asked the undertaker in a private kind of way
Before you close the casket when our friends have gone away
If it's not too strange to reason I would make one last request
Since it all goes in the ground I'd like to have the shoes and dress
Shoes and dress that Alice wore

So, I'm humming as I walk this house

Перевод

Я напеваю, гуляя по дому и занимаясь повседневными делами
Когда я убираю метлу, я вижу платье, которое носила Алиса
Оно печально висит в шкафу, бесформенно провисая
Пустое платье там, в шкафу, лежало тело, мягкое и теплое
Туфли и платье, которые были на Алисе

Это платье, которое она носила в ту ночь, когда она поймала меня лежащим рядом
Какая-то странная женщина, ничего не значащая, просто какие-то кости и волосы и шкура
Я не могла объяснить ей это, но не могу по сей день
Теперь я стою здесь и смотрю на платье, в котором она собиралась уйти
Туфли и платье, которые носила Алиса

И туфли красные и блестящие, и каблук скромный
А платье — плохая инвестиция, и цвет может быть бирюзовым
Она с криком выбежала из комнаты, где я лежал, моргая, обнаженный
С женщина рядом со мной говорит, не грубо ли эта женщина
Обувь и платье, которые носила Элис

Итак, я спросил гробовщика в частном порядке
Прежде чем закрыть гроб, когда наши друзья ушли
Если не странно рассуждать, я бы обратился с последней просьбой
Поскольку все идет под землю, мне бы хотелось забрать туфли и платье
Туфли и платье, которые носила Алиса
Итак, я напеваю, прогуливаясь по дому
