Lyrics & translation
Verse
The dust settles on the empty porch.
O pó assenta na varanda vazia.
My heavy steps carry a second ghost.
Meus passos pesados carregam um segundo fantasma.
Wet earth clings to every leather seam.
Terra úmida gruda em cada costura de couro.
The woods kept the other half of us.
A mata guardou a outra metade de nós.
A row of boots waits in the hall.
Uma fila de botas espera no corredor.
Lined up straight like soldiers in waiting.
Alinhados em linha como soldados à espera.
One set stays dry near the door.
Um conjunto permanece seco perto da porta.
The leather is cold and perfectly clean.
O couro está frio e perfeitamente limpo.
Chorus
Walk a mile in the deep clay.
Caminhe uma milha na argila profunda.
The silent woods took my brother away.
A mata silenciosa levou meu irmão embora.
Only the mud knows where he stays.
Apenas a lama sabe onde ele fica.
Only the mud knows.
Apenas a lama sabe.
Verse
I remember the river rising too fast.
Eu me lembro do rio subindo rápido demais.
A hand slipped through the freezing rain.
Uma mão escorregou pela chuva congelante.
Now the house is a hollow shell.
Agora a casa é uma casca oca.
Just the smell of pine and regret.
Apenas o cheiro de pinho e arrependimento.
Chorus
Walk a mile in the deep clay.
Caminhe uma milha na argila profunda.
The silent woods took my brother away.
A mata silenciosa levou meu irmão embora.
Only the mud knows where he stays.
Apenas a lama sabe onde ele fica.
Only the mud knows.
Apenas a lama sabe.
Bridge
I scrub the stains from the floor.
Eu esfrego as manchas do chão.
Only one path brought me back home.
Apenas um caminho me trouxe de volta.
Chorus
Walk a mile in the deep clay.
Caminhe uma milha na argila profunda.
The silent woods took my brother away.
A mata silenciosa levou meu irmão embora.
Only the mud knows.
Apenas a lama sabe.
