歌词
Walter, remember when the world was young
沃特 还记得稚嫩的我们和同样稚嫩的世界
And all the girls knew Walter's name
那时所有的女孩都听过沃特的大名
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed
沃特 这让人羞愧 我们的小小世界改变了太多
Do you remember, Walter, playing cricket in the thunder and the rain
还记得吗 我们在雷雨天时一起玩板球
Do you remember, Walter, smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate
还记得吗 我们一起在花园门前抽烟
Yes, Walter was my mate
嗯 沃特是我的好伙伴
But Walter, my old friend, where are you now?
可是我的老伙计,你现在在哪儿呢?
(Walter's name)
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed
沃特 这让人羞愧 我们的小小世界改变了太多
Do you remember, Walter, how we said we'd fight the world so we'd be free
你还记得吗 我们如何憧憬着反抗世界得到自由
We'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea
为能拥有自己的一艘船存钱 期待有天扬帆出海
But it was not to be
即便一切都已属于未完成的过去
I knew you then but do I know you now?
我所熟悉的过去的你 不知道是否依旧?
Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago
沃特 你是我遥远记忆中的仅有的回响
Walter, If you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name
要是你见到现在的我 干脆会叫不出我的名字
I bet you're fat and married
我估计你已经发福 也有了自己的家
and you're always home in bed by half-past eight
到了八点半就要睡觉
And if I talked about the old times you'd get bored
就算我跟你回忆过往 你也只会觉得无聊
and you'll have nothing more to say
没有多少事想对我分享
Yes people often change
是啊 人总是在变化
but memories of people can remain
只有活在记忆中的永远如一
