| Timmy sits out on the boardwalk
| Timmy se sienta en el paseo marítimo
|
| Writing in his book of poems
| Escribiendo en su libro de poemas
|
| A young girl walks up behind him
| Una niña camina detrás de él.
|
| Looking slightly tired and worn
| Luciendo un poco cansado y desgastado
|
| She reminds him of another
| Ella le recuerda a otro
|
| That he used to call his wife
| Que solía llamar a su esposa
|
| She tries hard to be his lover
| Ella se esfuerza por ser su amante
|
| So he’ll write about her life
| Así que escribirá sobre su vida.
|
| So he reads his book of stories
| Entonces lee su libro de cuentos
|
| Someone is listening tonight
| Alguien está escuchando esta noche
|
| Written in the blood and glories
| Escrito en la sangre y glorias
|
| Of the battles that he fights
| De las batallas que pelea
|
| Timmy’s standing at the alter
| Timmy está de pie en el altar
|
| With his girlfriend by his side
| Con su novia a su lado
|
| Bullets wait for him in the desert
| Las balas lo esperan en el desierto
|
| As he takes her for his bride
| Mientras la toma por su novia
|
| So he went into the army
| Así que entró en el ejército
|
| With a gun he could not shoot
| Con un arma no pudo disparar
|
| With her picture and his papers
| Con su foto y sus papeles
|
| Safely tucked inside his boot
| Metido de forma segura dentro de su bota
|
| Timmy sits inside a barroom
| Timmy se sienta dentro de un bar
|
| Buying someone else a scotch
| Comprarle a otra persona un whisky
|
| Half asleep she sits there listening
| Medio dormida ella se sienta allí escuchando
|
| Staring blankly at his crotch | Mirando fijamente su entrepierna |
