Past perfect simple
Předminulý čas prostý. Pro věci, co už se stihly stát před tím, než se stalo něco jiného.
"She gave him the present she had bought." (= "Dala mu ten dárek, který koupila.")
V češtině to kdysi existovalo taky, podívejte: "Mezi tou řečí přišla babička s Barunkou, nesouce plné klíny květin a plné náruče koření, které byly na louce natrhaly." (Božena Němcová, Babička)
[Verse 1]
I can hear the train pushing through the snow
Over the mighty Mississipi roads
The squeaking of the steel
Don't care how I feel
Or if I'm ready to go
[Verse 2]
So, I close my eyes and I start to dream
I throw a nickel in the time machine
Until I taste the wine
Feel your hand in mine
But this time no one's there
[Chorus]
I wish I'd known
But nobody told me
That was the last time you were ever gonna hold me
Maybe I'd a held on a little bit longer
Like I was never gonna let you go
Oh
I wish I'd known
I wish I'd known
[Verse 3]
Wouldn't wait a little longer in your bed
Held on tighter to the words you said
Slowly falling out of your beautiful mouth
Where's the time that we had lost?
[Chorus]
I wish I'd known
But nobody told me
That was the last time you were ever gonna hold me
Maybe I'd a held on a little bit longer
Like I was never gonna let you go
Oh
I wish I'd known
I wish I'd known
Oo, I wish I'd known
[Bridge]
And I can hear the train pushing through the snow
But I'm not ready to go
[Chorus]
I wish I'd known
But nobody told me
That was the last time you were ever gonna hold me
Maybe I'd a held on a little bit longer
Like I was never gonna let you go
[Outro]
I wish I'd known
But nobody told me
That was the last time you were ever gonna hold me
Maybe I'd a held on a little bit longer
Like I was never gonna let you go
Oh
I wish I'd known
I wish I'd known
Oh, I wish I'd known
