歌词
Smoking my six-hundredth last cigarette
抽着最后的第六百根烟
Out of the studio sky-light
望着工作室的天窗外
Watching the ash as it rolls down the roof
看那屋顶的积灰翻滚而落
Leaving a trail of grey-white
仅留下一道灰白痕迹
All through its short life it gives of itself
它穷尽一生付出着短暂的生命
Giving and giving and slowly diminishing
不断给予,也慢慢地消逝
Until there isn't a crumb of it left
直到落得一片残渣也不剩下
It no longer is, it's a snowball in negative
它不复存在,而存为底片中的雪球
Wandering home along Marlborough Road
顺着马尔堡路漫步回家
I realize in amazement
我陷入一阵诧异之中
That I have been, for how long I don't know,
究竟过了多久,我自己也无从知晓
Avoiding the cracks in the pavement
只是不断地躲避着人行道上的喧嚣
All through this short life we give of ourselves
我们同样穷尽短暂的一生不断付出自我
Giving and giving and slowly diminishing
不断给予,也慢慢消逝着
Leaving a mark that will gradually fade
并留下那终会逝去的印记
Ash in the breeze, snowballs in negative
如微风中的浮尘,底片里的雪球
