Текст песни Mark Lanegan - Wish You Well

He wrote her name with a needle gun
In black and blue
Your eyes are stone, she said
Beautiful and dead
And I wish you well

I took a turn on this carousel
How long ago now, I never can tell
I never stopped to wonder

Maybe a morning
Maybe a thousand years
I only walk high wires
To tend an Eden
Of magnolias dying

And though I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live
Forever
What I once saw burning bright as hell
Now here comes that weird chill
I don't stop to wonder

I threaded her name through the needle's eye
As it frayed
Tied the ends and stitched it up
Then hung my head down and wept
But I wish you well

Who'll pray for the killer's sake?
I used to be so wide awake
Like certain mornings
That last a thousand hours

Though I'm coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live forever
I'm burning bright at hell
Here comes that weird chill
But I wish you well
Your eyes are stone, she said
Truly beautiful and dead, I wish you well

I only ride on this carousel
But, I never really stop to wonder
