ОглавлениеPrologue
When you’ve been to the mountaintop
the valleys seem tame
When you’ve flown through lightning
Death’s just a game
When you’ve kissed Carly Simon
other women seem plain
When you’ve been to Mexico
you can’t come home again
When your back was aching
she washed away the pain
When the storm was raging
she knew what song to sing
Lost in the desert
she brought you the sea
When your mind was sinking
she fed you tea
When you’ve been to the mountaintop
the world seems flat
When you’ve fought in Cambodia
peace feels like a trap
When the full moon breaks through the clouds
the light bursts like flak
When you’ve flown through the Mu Gia Pass
you know you can’t come back
The waters taste bitter
when you’ve sipped on champagne
Your throat becomes scratchy
despite monsoon rain
Your ears fill with silence
when the sweet sparrow sings
When you’ve been to the mountaintop
you can’t come home again
