歌词
Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
躺在床上,盯着天花板
Wide awake with jet lag from Australia
因为从澳洲带来的时差而清醒难眠
Got a stack of mail, a wedding invitation
收了一堆邮件,夹着一封婚礼请柬
From a new, young relative, I’ve never even met
来自一位我从未见过面的年轻亲戚
Got me thinking about my Grandpa for some reason
这让我不觉想起我的爷爷
Met him half a dozen times in the nursing home
在疗养院里我见过他几面
Last time I saw him he was in a box
最后一次见到他时他在一个小盒子里
They were lowering him into the ground
人们正把他埋进地底下
St. Mary’s Church stood so high
远处的圣玛丽教堂默默矗立
It was the first and the last time I saw my Dad cry
那是我第一次也是最后一次看到爸爸哭
The ground had a thin coat of snow
那时地上覆着薄薄一层雪
And I wandered off in the cold
我在冰天雪地里迷失了方向
It’s 3: 47 am, June 13th
现在是六月十三日凌晨三点四十七分
It’s my sister’s birthday today, I think
我想今天应该是我姐姐的生日
I wanna give her a call, see how she’s doing
我想给她打个电话问问近况
She had a rough divorce, I hope she’s improved
她经历了一次痛苦的离婚,我希望她能变得坚强一点
I want to reach out and give her my love
我想向她伸出双手,给予她我的爱
Put a smile on her face like when we were young
让笑容重回她脸上,就像我们小时候一样
Listening to records from the library
一起听着从图书馆借来的磁带
Hermit of Mink Hollow and Dreamboat Annie 我记得那是Hermit of Mink Hollow和Dreamboat Annie
She lives with her daughters all alone
现在她带着两个女儿独自居住
Across the street from a cornfield in Ohio
在俄亥俄州一片玉米地外的街上
One's 4, one's 7 and I love them so
一个女儿四岁,一个女儿七岁,我特别爱她们
I want to live a long time and see them grow
我想活得长长久久,看着她们长大
Outside my window tonight, Sausalito’s twinkling lights
今夜的窗外,索萨利托的灯光闪烁
My love’s beside me deep asleep
妻子在我身旁熟睡
The dog is laying between my feet
小狗躺在我的脚边
Outside my window tonight
今夜的窗外
The cargo ships are cruising
货船正远航
And I’m so happy to be alive
我感到幸福,我活着
To have these people in my life
我爱的人们伴我左右
Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
躺在床上,盯着天花板
Can't make my mind stop from racing
无法停止思绪飞扬
It’s not good or bad, it’s just how God made me
无论好或坏,都只是上帝的安排
To lay awake at night ceiling gazing
躺在床上,盯着天花板
