歌词
Orpheus is playing the troubadour
奥非斯唱着民谣
Singing his heartbreak songs
唱着他关于欧律狄刻的（希腊神话中人物）
The ones about Eurydice
心碎的歌谣
The crowd cringes and yawns
人群相互阿臾间聒噪不止
He`s cut off all his guitar strings
他已断尽吉他的弦
So he`s standing up there alone
如今只能在这噪杂中孑然而立
Silence where there was once music
当他对着麦克风歌唱
While he sings into the microphone
那寂静也曾天籁
It`s so hard being so close
如此靠近已是艰难
But still just out of reach
掌控之外
To something in the darkness
更无奈是黑夜中
That the light won`t let me keep
那灯也不会永远为我亮
She vanished sometime in the spring
她在某个春日销声匿迹
Most people thought she was dead
多数人认为她已香消玉殒
Others say that they saw her
一些人却说还看见她
Leaving on a midnight jet
乘着午夜的飞机离开
Now Orpheus acts like he`s holy
现在奥非斯散发圣洁之气
Like grief has given him wings
仿佛悲伤赐予他翅膀
Searching the globe looking for her
去满世界搜寻她的踪迹
Tears in his eyes while he sings
泪水盈眶满长歌
It`s so hard being so close
如此靠近已是艰难
But still just out of reach
掌控之外
To something in the darkness
更无奈是黑夜中
That the light won`t let me keep
那灯也不会永远为我亮
He found her one day in Morocco
在摩洛哥的某天，他找到他
Living breathing and well
生活有滋有味
Out there writing a novel
她在那写着自传——
A memoir called my life in hell
呼号着我的生活在地狱
He begged her to follow him home
他求她随他回家
Saying I`ve come here to save you
告诉他来这就是为了救她
She told him to go back alone
她却说你尽可一人回去
Saying baby it`s over I`m through
她却说我觉得一切已经结束
The night that I left I found you in bed
我离去的夜晚
With my old roommate Jane
你就和我的室友Jane在床上
You were under the covers giving her head
你们在床单下卿卿我我
So I walked out and boarded a plane
那时我便转身出门，上了飞机
It`s so hard being so close
靠近已是如此艰难
But still just out of reach
掌控之外仍有他物
To something in the darkness
便是在黑夜之中
That the light won`t let me keep
从没有一盏灯永远为我而亮
