Текст песни For Malena — Ches Smith

Wakes? up early in the morning
Clears the bottle from the table Sweeps up all last night’s confetti Then he gets the breakfast ready For Malena
Lights the fire in the kitchen
Drags the trash out to the gutter Then he goes and gently wakes her for the
(public school?) to take her
His Malena
All day long he works for money Preparing food for other people Though he often
feels unready Knows he must stay steady
For Malena
She takes the bus home in the evening
Does her homework at the table Then she plays behind the kitchen Waits for them
to finish (That's Malena?)
When the night is finally over
Lids are heavy at the table
Before she falls asleep he asks her How the day went
For Malena
