The Middle East - Deep Water [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Green-eyed looker, it [always pains me to see]
Hollowed-out picture of skin and bone
The strangest stranger that I ever did meet
Oh and I guess I ain't that old

She came on strong with her confidence
Make you sweat in your cotton, though it'll breathe
And the cruelest behavior ain't born [or mined]—
[to fill her shell she'll just] go and down the wine

It's deep water, driving rain
And all I can remember is a cold
Another burned-out lover who was begging to leave—
She said "why wouldn't you tell your soul to me?"

Took all I had in my waiting cell
And a little of what I just [don't know]
But I got my thinking up to where I fell
And I let the memories of my lovers die

It's a bitter taste and a blinding light
And time fade burns, [most would know]
I took the hand of the woman I love
Now I am sure I'm gonna make her my own

It's a deep water, a driving rain—
I'm making a shelter of my own
When Jesus comes he's gonna eat with me
And he's gonna find our children [hope]

Got a road all laid out and trenched
And [mind] enough for a walking pace
It seems a difference from where I've come
And oh Lord I'd love to see that place again

With its deep water, mountain range
And full of those hard-living kind
Petrol stations and a copper mine—
The kind of place I think I could die
