歌词
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
我是Cleopatra，年轻貌美的女演员
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
当你双膝跪地，想与我厮守终生
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
着着黑衣的我，却伤心不已
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
可父亲遗愿如此，我别无他法
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
我留下灰迹，踩过地毯
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
你的离开，让我铁下心
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
但我知道，最终我只得与你相伴
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
也许不是正室，但我必须在你身边
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
可我总是姗姗来迟，错失了心中所爱
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
唯有孤独终老之时，内心才会得以平静
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
教会阻止了我的离去，我的渴望只得埋藏于心
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
我心如死灰，但仍心存希望
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
于是我搭上出租车，可路上水泄不通
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
后座上的陌生人，也教唆我不要离开
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
可我总是姗姗来迟，错失了心中所爱
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
唯有孤独终老之时，内心才会得以平静
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
上天给予我的只有出生与离别
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
可命运弄人，我别无他法
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
我叫Cleopatra，曾经内心汹涌澎湃
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
但这一切早已不再，逝于风中
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
现在的我走向自己的新居
It's a bed and a bathroom
一张床，一间卧室
And a place for the end
也许一切会终于此
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
我不会为这个迟到，为那个迟到，为我生命中的挚爱迟到
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
唯有孤独终老之时，内心才会得以平静
