The Empty Chair

歌词

If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see

当我闭上我的双眼，我的灵魂就能看见

And there's a place at the table that you saved for me

桌上你为我保留的那一小块空间

So many thousand miles over land and sea

跨越千山万海的千里之外

I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer

我希望能有勇气，让你听见我的祈祷

And somehow I'll be there

而我总能回来陪你

那里会有混凝土地面让我能安然躺下

It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay

监狱后的墙面如同尸体一般冰冷

And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay

但那总会透过一道光让我细数年岁

But there's a shaft of light where I count my days

所以不要为那永远空着的椅子绝望

So don't despair of the empty chair

我总能在那里陪你

And somehow I'll be there

有时我坚毅似铁，有时也软弱不堪

有段时间我已绝望到话都难以说出

Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak

但我脑内仍有让我思绪畅游的世界

And days I'm so broken I can barely speak

在那里我能回到家中

There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam

当世界充满肃杀，树也干枯光秃

Where somehow I've come home

而你只是凝望着窗外的黑暗

以前我经常会在我们聚餐时姗姗来迟

And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare

但请擦干净那积灰的桌椅

And you just stare out the window in the darkness there

因为我总会到来

Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear

因为我总能回来

But keep my place and the empty chair

And somehow I'll be there
