Worum geht es in dem Song?

In dem Songtext "Gone at Last" von Paul Simon geht es um jemanden, der eine lange Pechsträhne hatte, aber hofft, dass si...

The night was black,
The road was icy,
And the snow was fallin',
And the drifts were high.
And I was weary
From my drivin',
And I stopped to rest for a while.
I sat down,
At a truck stop,
I was thinkin' about my past.

I've had a long streak of bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last,
Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.

I ain't dumb,
I've kicked around some,
I don't fall,
Too easily.
But that boy
Looked so dejected,
He just grabbed my sympathy.
Sweet little soul now,
What's your problem,
Tell me why you're so downcast.

I've had a long streak of bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last,
Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.

Ev'ry once in a while,
From the middle of nowhere,
When you don't expect it,
And you're unprepared,
Somebody will come
And lift you higher,
And your burdens will be shared.
Yes I do believe
If I hadn't met you,
I might still be sinking fast.

I've had a long streak of bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last,
Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.

Gone, gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
Gone at last,
I've had a long streak of that bad luck,
But I'm prayin' it's gone at last.
