Where I knew she lay waiting

Under the marble and the snow

The thunder and the lightning

I'll never come through this alone

My shawl wrapped around you

My hand on your head when you go

And the night came on

But she said, Go back to the World

We were fighting in Egypt

That nobody else had to die

And my father went down

With a terrible wound in his side

He said, Try to go on

Climbed out of the water

Crying, Papa, you promised to play

And they lead me away

To the great surprise

It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes
他们说,爸爸,别偷看,爸爸,遮住你的眼睛
And they hide, they hide in the World
然后他们藏了起来,藏在了那繁华世界里
Now I look for her always

I'm lost in this calling
迷失在这呼唤里
I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
我祈祷能给我线索的联系
Saying, When will she summon me
祈祷,她何时再来呼唤我
When will she come to me
她何时再来我身旁
What must I do to prepare
我该做怎样的准备
When she bends to my longing
当她弯曲我的欲望
Like a willow, like a fountain
像柳枝,像喷泉那样
She stands in the luminous air
当她置身于那发光的空气里时
And the night comes on
然后夜幕降临
And it's very calm
万籁俱静
I lie in her arms and says, when I'm gone
我躺在她怀中说,当我离开时
I'll be yours, yours for a song
我将是你的,是你的一首歌
Now the crickets are singing
你听啊,现在蟋蟀在歌唱
The vesper bells ringing
那晚祷的钟声敲响
The cat's curled asleep in his chair
猫在椅子上沉睡
I'll go down to Bill's Bar
我会去到比尔的酒吧
I can make it that far
我可以让它那样遥远
And I'll see if my friends are still there
我会看看我的朋友们是否还在
Yes, and here's to the few
他们还在,可是你看这里的几个人
Who forgive what you do
谁会饶恕你做的事情
And the fewer who don't even care
其他的人甚至不会关心
And the night comes on
然后夜幕降临
It's very calm
万籁俱静
I want to cross over, I want to go home
我想跨过这黑夜,我想回到家中去
But she says, Go back, go back to the world
但她对我说,回去吧,回到那个世界上去吧
