歌词
Into this strange elastic world
向这个陌生的扭曲世界
Pontus kindly gave up a pearl
蓬托斯慷慨地献出一颗珍珠(蓬托斯,古希腊神话中的海神)
Of his eternal stone and mud
在他永恒的岩石和泥水中出生
And ain't she lovely bone and blood
她的血与骨都是那么可爱
Born of the sea
在海中诞生
离我千百英里远
A thousand miles away from me
在天使的庭院里
A court of angels
在太阳的监护下
Wards of the sun
未来正在慢慢成型
A future forming
诅咒还没有成真
A curse undone
我们轻柔燃烧着的灯光下
她不急不忙地讲述着我们可能的生活
Under our softly burning lamps she takes her time
当她用她的身体书写时,爱就是油墨缸里的墨水
Telling stories of our possible lives
我一直都那么自私和高傲
And love is the ink in the well when her body writes
她知道在我内心深处有一个幼稚小孩
但是我也有好的一面
I've been selfish and full of pride
那就是她不顾一切地爱着我
And she knows deep down there's a little child
在树上的那首歌使她分了心
But I've got a good side to me as well
一种奇妙的另一种形式的生命
And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
让她知道了它的存在
她轻轻的低声软语
A song in the tree has distracted her mind
她闪亮的脸映着上百万种影像
Some other curious form of life
在那些落在她面纱上的小雨滴上
Has made its presence to her known
它们从我们的城市上空降落,好像是上天送来的提醒
And she coos so gently, soft and low
这压垮了我,原来我并不是那么坚强
He shining face in a million reflections
并不是说黑暗不会触及我们的生活
On tiny raindrops that fall in a veil
我知道黑暗总会在某时来临的
Over our city like notes from above
但她可不是普通的情人
It overwhelms me I just ain't that tough
现在太阳落山了
她闪烁着迷人的光芒
It's not that the darkness can't touch our lives
我一直都那么自私和高傲
I know it will in time
她知道在我内心深处有一个幼稚小孩
But she's no ordinary valentine
但是我也有好的一面
And now when the sun goes down
那就是她不顾一切地爱着我
she sheds a darling light
I've been selfish and full of pride
And she knows deep down there's a little child
But I've got a good side to me as well
And it's that she loves in spite of everything else
