Текст песни: Dar Williams - Mortal City
She never should have rented this apartment in the mortal city
The cold comes though evey crack she puts her hand up to
The radiators broken, so she has to use electric heat.
And tonight was the first date with the brother of the guy she worked next to
He lived a couple streets awa
He listened, he had things to say
She asked him up for dinner sometime
Sometime was tonight
The radio gave updates on the ice storm while she made the dinner
They said, from all the talk, you shouldnt drive or even walk
And this just in -- were asking everyone to turn off their power
They need it at the hostpital.
She ran around pulling plugs, then she called him up
Maybe now they shouldnt meet, he said that he would brave the streets
She met him at the door with a blanket and a candle
Saying, I heard it on the radio, I had to turn my power off.
He said youre not the only one, the streets were dark tonight,
It was like another century
With dim lamps and candles lighting up the icy trees and the clouds and a covered moon.
She said what kind of people make a city
Where you cant see the sky and you cant feel the ground?
I tell you something, I have this feeling that this citys dying
He said, its not dying its the people who are dying
She said, yes yes I think the people are dying and nobody cares.
We had all this technology our dreams were bold and vague
And then one city got bad planners, one city got the plague.
He asked why did you move here? she said, for the job
For the job and Ive been so lonely here, so lonely
Theres no one I can talk to, you know I dont even know your brother.
He smiled and said, sometimes at night I walk out by the river
The citys one big town, the water turns it upside down
People found this city because they love other people
They want their secretaries, they want their power lunches.
And think about tonight, I heard the same newscast you did
I unplugged everything, I looked out the window
And I think the city heard, I watched as one by one the lights went off
So they could give their power to the hospital
They ate in silence while she thought this over,
They sat together in a dark room in the mortal city
Shifting in their blankets so they wouldnt get spaghetti on them.
Then came the awkward moment after dinner, what to do,
The ice was still falling, the streets were still dangerous
The cabs were not running and this neighborhood was not the greatest.
They both looked at the space where a couch wouldve been
She felt her stomach sink, she felt like she could hardly think
She said, I never should have rented this apartment in the mortal city
The cold comes through eve crack I put my hand up to
The radiator doesnt work, I have to use electric heat.
That settled it, they would both sleep in her bed
It was a matter of survival.
She brought out teeshirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, hats
If there was ever any thought of what would happen in that bed tonight
There wa no question now
They could barely move
They were wrapped up like ornaments waiting for another season.
They lay in bed, they listened to the pelting ice
He said my brothers not a bad guy, hes just quiet
I wished you liked this city
She said, maybe I do.
I think I have a special kind of hearing tonight
I hear the neighbors upstairs
I hear my heart beating
I hear one thousand hearts beating at the hospital
And one thousand hearts by their bedsides waiting
Saying thats my love in the white gown,
We are not lost in the mortal city
We are not lost in the mortal city
