Текстове на песни: Guy Clark. Cape.

Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin? what the heck
Screwed his courage up so tight, that the whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin? start and bless his heart, he headed for the ground

Well he?s one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

Now he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dreams
And he?s full of piss and vinegar, and he?s bustin? at the seams
So he licked his finger and checked the wind, it?s gonna be do or die
He wasn?t scared of nothin?, boys, he was pretty sure he could fly

Well he?s one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

Now he's old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
And he?s still jumpin? off the garage and will be 'til he?s dead
All these years the people said, "He's actin? like a kid"
He did not know he could not fly, so he did

Well he?s one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
Yeah, he?s one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
