歌词
The Secret - David Nail
秘密 - 戴维 尼尔
All gathered round in our Sunday best after the service on them old church steps
在老教堂梯级一番仪式后,大伙身着着礼拜服饰聚在了一起
Congregation spilling into the streets
会众徘徊的身影充斥着整个街区
Ain t it funny how the preacher's words
可笑的是啊 那教士的言语
Disappear out here on the curb
就这么一无是处地销匿在外了
Once the weight of an old friend's body and your hands meet
除了双手触碰逝去故友的身体 悲痛难忍
Tending bar up in Syracuse,Momma called when she got the news
阿姨得知消息打来电话时 还在Syracuse打理着酒吧
Hell, I don t know who she ll miss more, you or me
啊 我不知道那一刻她更思恋的 是你,还是我
No, it didn t feel real, no not til now
至今已来 我都不敢追忆那时
Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town
我伫立在镇上那长黑色殡仪车前的情境
Rolling by buildings I never thought again I'd see
车影留下的城镇建筑 我想我也难以再次回想起来了吧
And I can t help but think about
但我又不得不去想啊
all that we could have been
明明还有那么多时光能跟大家一起度过的
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
为什么你执意要离开 与他共度一生?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
但愿苦痛化作尘土
Buried is the secret that was us
我们彼此间的秘密 就此埋葬了吧
I can still see you standing there
我仍能记起你站在远处的样子
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair
双眼已哭得红肿 头发上还有着积雪
And your shaking voice say you couldn t get past the shame
你用着颤抖的声音告诉我 自己羞愧难当
Eight weeks into a nine month ride
你为此好几个星期苦苦奔波
Either way it's still a lie
一来收获的 还只是谎言而已
Carrying your child with another man's name
落得终究改嫁他人 与孩子令承他姓
And I can t help but think about
但我又不得不去想啊
all that we could have been
明明还有那么多时光能跟大家一起度过的
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
为什么你执意要离开 任自己的一生转而荒谬?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
但愿苦痛化作青烟
Buried is the secret that was us
连同着我们的秘密 就此埋没
I walk up and shake his hand
我走向前去 握着他的手
tell him just how sorry I am
向他坦诚 我愧对自己
And what I wouldn t give to have you back
我没有能力将逝者挽留
I wonder if you re looking down on
我在期盼 你在天堂也能够看到
all who is gathered round
此刻仍陪伴在你身旁的亲友们
Knowing one day I too will find peace
知晓总有一天 我和你能再次在天堂相会
And I can t help but think about
但我又不得不去想啊
all that we could have been
明明还有那么多时光能跟大家一起度过的
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
为什么你执意要离开 任自己的一生转而荒谬?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
尘归尘 土归土
Buried is the secret that was us
我们彼此间的秘密 就此埋葬
Buried is the secret that was us
我们彼此间的秘密 就此埋葬
