Текст песни BOB DYLAN - Black Diamond Bay
Up on the white verandaShe wears a necktie and a Panama hatHer passport shows another faceFrom another time and placeShe looks nothing like thatAnd all the remnants of her recent pastAre scattered in the wild wind( )She walks across the marble floorWhere a voice from the gambling room is calling her to come on inShe smiles, walks the other wayAs the last ship sails and the moon fades awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.As the morning light breaks open the Greek comes downAnd he asks for a rope and a pen that will write"Pardon monsieur" the desk clerk saysCarefully removes his fez"Am I hearing you right ?"And as the yellow fog is liftingThe Greek is quickly heading for the second floorShe passes him on the spiral staircaseThinking he's the Sovjet AmbassadorShe starts to speak, but he walks awayAs the storm clouds rise and the palm branches awayOn Black Diamond Bay.A soldier sits beneath the fanDoing business with a tiny man who sells him a ringLightning strikes, the light blow outThe desk clerk wakes and begins to shout"Can you see anything ?"Then the Greek appears on the second floorIn his bare feet with a rope around his neckWhile a loser in the gambling room lights up a candleSays "Open up another deck"But the dealer say "Attendez-vous, s'il vous pl it"As the rain beats down and the cranes fly awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.The desk clerk heard the woman laughAs he looked around the aftermath and the soldier got toughHe tried to grab the woman's handSaid, "Here's a ring it cost a grand"She said, "That ain't enough"Then she ran upstairs to pack her bagsWhile a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curbShe passed the door that the Greek had lockedWhere a handwritten sign read, "Do not disturb"She knocked on it anywayAs the sun went down and the music did playOn Black Diamond Bay."I've got to talk to someone quick !"But the Greek said, "Go away" and he kicked the chair to the floorHe hung there from the chandelierShe cried, "Help there's danger nearPlease open op the door"Then the volcano eruptedAnd the lava flowed down from the mountain high aboveThe soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the cornerThinking of forbidden loveBut the desk clerk said "It happens every day"As the stars fell down and the fields burned awayOn Black Diamond Bay.As the island slowly sankThe loser finally broke the bank in the gambling roomThe dealer said "It's too late now You can take you money, but I don't know howYou'll spend it in the tomb"The tiny man bit the soldier's earAs the floor caved in and the boiler in the basemen blewWhile she's out on the balcony where a stranger tell her"My darling je vous aime beacoup"She sheds a tear and then begins to prayAs the fire burns on and the smoke drifts awayFrom Black Diamond Bay.I was siting home alone one night in LAWatching old Cronkite on the seven o'clock newsIt seems there was an earthquake thatLeft nothing but a Panama hatAnd a pair of old Greek shoesDidn't seem like much was happeningSo I turned it off and went to grab another beerSeems like every time you turn aroundThere's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hearAnd there's really nothing anyone can sayAnd I never did plan to go anywayTo Black Diamond Bay.
