Текст песни Geoff Berner — Wealthy Poet

My love, I am a wealthy poet,
So when it’s time to run again,
Your wealthy poet of renown
Will bribe you cross a thousand borders,
Run you till you’re safe and sound.

I’ll get you a teardrop ruby,
So when it’s time to run again,
We’ll take that ruby from your throat,
You will sew that red, red ruby
In the lining of your coat.

I’ll get you a pretty passport,
So when it’s time to run again,
We’ll put your picture in the frame,
Soon you will forget this country,
Soon you will forget your name.
