Ukratko:
Dakle, pjevač je ludo voli, ali ona se nikako ne može oporaviti od veze koja je loše završila. Još uvijek je beznadno zaljubljena u “hladnu bijelu sablast” bivšega i koliko god se ovo naše siroče trudi, nema koristi od toga. Napokon ga žena otkači. “Dušo”, reče mu ona bezdušno, “ti si samo val, ti nisi voda”.

Bolan je trenutak svakome od nas barem jednom u životu bio da u nečijem životu nismo bili voda, nego samo val. Neki se još i danas, kad se toga sjete, sklupčaju na podu i zajecaju, ili se čak pokušaju objesiti. Butch Hancock bio je, srećom, dovoljno priseban da zaključi kako “nema smisla počiniti samoubojstvo u samoobrani”, inače nikada ne bismo čuli ovu savršenu pjesmu.

Ostatak teksta nije za one slabijih živaca.

Thirst is not the answer oceans come and go
I loved her seven seas worth Lord I loved her so
But she let me down so easy one slow drop at a time
I would’ve killed myself but it made no sense
Commitin’ suicide in self defense But I lost everything I brought her
When she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water

Centuries ago we were living on the gold coast
She was still in love with a long gone cold ghost
I was only trying to turn back the tide of her tears
I felt like an endless ocean rolling through the fog
Full emotion drifting like a weather beaten log
I even thought that I out-thought her
Till she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
[ steel ]
I said someday we’ll love again then you’ll know the score
I’ve taught you everything I know and maybe even more
That’s true she said more than you ever will
I said I’ve been your raging river precious African queen
I’ve shown you everything that I’ve ever seen
But she knew more than I had taught her
When she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
[ ac.guitar ]
Well I followed her far and wide with all of my will
Water on the move you know it never stands still
And I moved every muscle just to prove it can be done
Then up some old sad river where snow white lilies float
I came to her for mercy but I hardly rocked the boat
She seemed surprised that I had caught her
But she said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water
She said babe you’re just a wave you’re not the water

“Dragi prijatelji

Ostalo mi je oko 100 knjiga Zvjezdani šapat Duše, koje prodajem po internetskoj cijeni od 70kn, pa ako netko bude poželio kupiti je, možete mi se obratiti mailom. Knjigu dajem na ruke, jer mi je slanje dodatni trošak koji mi se ne isplati.
