Text: "Kate in the Haze of the Rum" Lyrics: Wind and rain at his back Soak his funeral coat and the brim of his hat Jug of rum Brooding clouds of gray rats Swarm 'round the row of brothels Lit by rotten paper lamps There she stands in her black evening gown And only her hands have aged Through the haze of the rum Once a fool so in love For the first time He finally sees her face And so he smiles as if at a memory At a ghost or photograph Pours another glass of rum Says, "to you, dear, the mother of my sons" To her delicate and wicked little laugh Rain tears through the crying cypress trees Their tears as bittersweet As he is exhausted Drunk And relieved For she is gone Finally gone Forever gone And he is free Komposition – Stephanie Nilles Klavier, Orgel, Gesang, Perkussion, Melodica, Geige und Gesang – Stephanie Nilles Klarinette, Kornett, Alt- und Tenorsaxofon, Tuba, Kontrabass, Gitarre, Penny Whistle, Gesang – Thomas Deakin Bratsche – Allan Nilles Aus der Hörspiel-Serie "Jenseits von Eden" nach dem Roman von John Steinbeck Produktion: NDR 2021 Alle Mitwirkenden und mehr Information unter: https://www.ndr.de/jenseitsvoneden
