歌词与中文翻译
Long legged shadows,
水面上船的倒影
Mississippi sunset
密西西比的落日
She was standing like a candle that hadn't been burned yet
她站在那里，就像一支尚未燃起的蜡烛
The wind was blowing clouds like ashes
风将云像灰般拂去
Had my hand in my pocket, reaching for my matches
我双手插兜，寻找我的伴侣
I can see those cotton sheets a dancin'
我在脑海中看见，她母亲的晾衣绳上
On her mama's clothesline in my head
那些棉被单随风飞舞
From my lips a lucky strike was danglin'
我的嘴中能滑出最优美的词是“亲爱的”
The day was dying in a sea of red
年月在红色的潮水中逝去
Then came the night warm and dark
迎来温暖而黑暗的夜晚
Draggin' it's chains across our hearts
在我们的心上刻下印记
The moon was full, the grass was wet
月亮圆满，草地潮湿
Making us scream, making us sweat
让我们惊叫，给予我们沉酣
Holding on tight, it was wrong, it was right
紧紧握着彼此的手，这是错的，这是对的
Then came the night
于是夜晚降临
There was a time when love was a flower
曾有一些年月，爱就像花朵
Now it's a vine that climbing up the tower
现如今是攀过塔的藤蔓
And the river just rolls past the garden
溪流仍蜿蜒过花园
Where love won't grow and the ground is hardened
但在那里爱不再生长，土地荒芜
I can see that tattered white flag flyin'
我看到那飞舞的残缺白旗
I can hear the ringing mission bell
耳边回响隐约的教堂钟声
Telling of the innocence that's dying
告诉我天真年月正在逝去
A sound that
那声音
I remember oh so well
我深深记得
Then came the night warm and dark
于是温暖而黑暗的夜色降临
Draggin' it's chains across our hearts
在我们的心上刻下印记
The moon was full, the grass was wet
月亮圆满，草地潮湿
Making us scream, making us sweat
让我们惊叫，给予我们沉酣
Making us cling, making us claw
让我们彼此依恋，让我们难以割舍
Making us rise, making us fall
让我们升起，让我们坠落
Breath on breath, skin on skin
让呼吸相连，让肌肤相贴
Can't go back there again
再也不会回到那里了
Holding on tight, it was wrong, it was right
紧紧握着彼此的手，这是错的，这是对的
Then came the night
于是夜色降临
