She sends me blue valentines
All the way from Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels just like there's
A warrant out for my arrest
Got me checkin' in my rearview mirror
And I'm always on the run
That’s why I change my name
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here
To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Is the thistle in the kiss
And the burglar that that can break a roses neck
it's the tattooed broken promise
That I hide beneath my sleeve
And I see you every time I turn my back
She sends me blue valentines
Though I try to remain at large
They're insisting that our love
must have a culogy
Why do I save all of this madness
In the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders
Baby I know
i'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel
She sends me blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a lot of whiskey
to make these nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin' heart out every nite
And I die a little more on each st. valentine day
Remember that I promised I would
Write you...
these blue valentines
-------------------------------------------------
Она шлет мне голубые валентинки
Уж почти всю жизнь из Филадельфии
Чтобы отметить годовщину
Того, кем я когда-то был.
И они для меня словно
Ордер на мой арест.
Из-за них я оглядываюсь в зеркало заднего вида
И всегда в бегах.
Вот почему я меняю имена.
А я и не думал, что ты всегда меня найдешь.
Чтобы посылать мне голубые валентинки,
Словно наполовину забытые мечты
Словно камешек в ботинке,
Когда я хожу по этим улицам.
А призрак твоей памяти -
Это чертополох в поцелуе.
А грабитель, что сможет сломать шейку розы, -
Это наколотое нарушенное обещание,
Что я прячу под рукавом.
И я вижу тебя каждый раз, когда оглядываюсь назад.
Она шлет мне голубые валентинки.
Хоть я и стараюсь оставаться на свободе,
Они утверждают мне, что наша любовь достойна восхваленья.
Зачем же я храню все это безумие
В ящике у кровати?
Затем, чтобы не снимать тяжести с плеч.
Детка, я знаю, что мне будет лучше, если обходить все стороной,
Со слепым и разбитым сердцем,
Что спит под лацканом пиджака.
Она шлет мне голубые валентинки,
Чтоб напомнить мой главный грех.
Никогда мне не смыть вины
И этих пятен крови с рук.
Нужно очень много виски
Чтобы прогнать эти кошмары
И я вырезаю свое кровоточащее сердце по ночам,
И умираю понемножку каждый Валентинов день.
Помни, что обещал писать тебе
эти голубые валентинки…

She sends me blue valentines
So most of my life in Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Who I once was .
And they seemed to me
Warrant for my arrest .
Because of them, I look in the rearview mirror
And always on the run.
That's why I'm changing the names .
And I do not think you always find me .
To send me blue valentines ,
Like half -forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in the shoe ,
When I walk through these streets .
And the ghost of your memory -
This thistle in the kiss .
A robber that he could break the neck rose -
It impaled broken promise ,
What I hide under the arm .
And I see you every time you look back .
She sends me blue valentines .
Though I try to remain at liberty ,
They say to me that our love is worthy of praise.
Why do I keep all this madness
In the box beside the bed ?
Then, in order not to remove gravity from the shoulders .
Baby, I know that I would be better if we bypass all party
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps under the lapel of his jacket.
She sends me blue valentines ,
To remind my greatest sin .
I'd never wash the guilt
And these blood stains from hands.
Need a lot of whiskey
To get rid of these nightmares
And I cut my bleeding heart at night
And dying little by little every Valentine's Day .
Remember, I promised to write to you
these blue valentines ...
