I once knew a man

Been everywhere in the world
在全世界都能看见他
Gave me a tiny ivory ball

Said it would bring me good

Never believed it would until
我一直不相信
I have been loving you
直到我爱上了你
Dear old man

He'd seen most everything

Gave me a piece of good advice

Said it would do me well

I couldn't really tell until

He spoke of love's sweeter days

And in his eloquent way
