歌词
Crickets are chirping the water is high
蟋蟀正在鸣叫 那片河水已涨高
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hanging' dry
一件已晾干的棉布连衣裙挂在绳上
Window's wide open African trees
窗户大开 窗外非洲的树木
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
在飓风中向后弯曲
Not a word a goodbye not even a note
没有留下一句道别，甚至一张字条
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
她已随那个着黑色长衣的男人离去
有人曾见过他
Somebody seem him hanging' around
在镇郊的老舞厅逗留
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
他凝视着她的双眼 当她拦住他问
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
他是否想与她共舞 他有张面具般的脸孔
If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
有人曾说根据他引用的《圣经》
Somebody said from the Bible he quote
着黑色长衣的人身上布满尘土
There was dust on the man in the long black coat
传道者曾经喋喋不休地布道
Preacher was talking' there's a sermon he gave
他说每个人的良心都卑鄙而堕落
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
你不能指望它给你指引
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
在你必须要满足它的时候
When it's you who must keep it satisfied
这令人难以相信 无法接受
It ain't easy to swallow it sticks in the throat
她把她的心交给了那个着黑色长衣的男人
She gives her heart to the man in the long black coat
有人说生活中没有错误
有时候这是真的 你可以这么想
There are no mistakes in life some people say
但是人们并非活着或死去 只是随波逐流
And it's true sometimes you can see it that way
她随着黑色长衣的男人离开
People don't live or die people just float
水面弥漫着烟雾 自从六月以来
She went with the man in the long black coat
树干被连根拔起 在高悬的新月下
感受这节拍与震动和隆隆作响的力量
There's smoke on the water it's been there since June
有人在外面鞭打着一只死去的马
Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon
她什么都没说 什么也没写
Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumbling' force
她已随着黑色长衣的男人离去
Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse
She never said nothing' there was nothing' she wrote
She's gone with the man in the long black coat..
