Its Over
Jimmie Rodgers
1966
If time were not a moving thing
and I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would
always be, thered be no coming day
to shine a morning light to make us
realize our night is over.
When you walk away from me there is no
place to put my hand, except to shade my eyes
against the sun that rises or the land
I watch you walk away somehow if have
to let you go now
Its over
If you knew just how I really feel
you might return and yet, there are so
many times that people have to love than forget
Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
Its over
So I turn my back
turn my collar to the wind
move along in silence trying not
to think at all
I send my feet before me, walk
the silent street before me.
Its over
If time were not a moving thing
and I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would
always be, thered be no coming day
to shine a morning light, to make us
realize our night is over.
Its over
Jimmie Rodgers (James Charles Rodgers), noto come "The Singing Brakeman", "The Blue Yodeler" o "Father of Country Music", è stato un cantante statunitense di grande successo negli anni '20 e '30. Nato in Mississippi nel 1897, Rodgers iniziò la sua carriera lavorando come bracciante ferroviario prima di dedicarsi alla musica country. La sua voce potente e il suo stile unico, caratterizzato da una ritmica jodel, lo resero un'icona del genere. Rodgers è considerato uno dei pionieri della musica country moderna, influenzando generazioni di artisti successivi. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Blue Yodel No. 1", "T for Texas" e "In the Jailhouse Now". La sua influenza sulla musica americana è immensa, e Rodgers continua ad essere celebrato come una leggenda del country music.
