歌词
I sat me down to write a simple story
我坐下开始写一则小故事
which maybe in the end became a song
也许后来会有人给它谱上曲
In trying to find the words which might begin it
当我绞尽脑汁思索如何开头时
I found these were the thoughts I brought along
这些就是我脑海里冒出的想法
At first I took my weight to be an anchor
一开始，我把我的忧愁当做依靠
and gathered up my fears to guide me round
让恐惧做我的明灯
but then I clearly saw my own delusion
直到看清一切只是我的妄想
and found my struggles further bogged me down
而挣扎只让我越陷越深
In starting out I thought to go exploring
出发时，我本打算去探索未知
and set my foot upon the nearest road
于是毅然踏上离家最近的旅程
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
徒劳地寻找那应许的转角
but only saw how far I was from home
却只发现家已远在天边
In searching I forsook the paths of learning
追寻的路上我抛弃了求知的正途
and sought instead to find some pirate's gold
一心只想得到那些海盗的宝藏
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
奋斗中我伤害了我最亲爱的人
and still no hidden truths could I unfold
却始终不见那未知的“真理”
I sat me down to write a simple story
我坐下开始写我的小故事
which maybe in the end became a song
也许后来会有人给它谱上曲
The words have all been writ by one before me
这些话前人都已写尽
We're taking turns in trying to pass them on
我们不过是在轮流把它们传递下去
Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on
哦，我们不过是在轮流传递下去
