歌词
The priest sat in the airport bar
牧师坐在机场的酒吧里
He was wearing his father's tie
正系着他父亲的领带
每当话语枯涸 无言
And his eyes looked into my eyes so far
他便凝望我的双眸
Whenever the words ran dry
匿在他睫帘之后的那对天青瞳孔
袒露了牧师阅历的过往尘埃
Behind the lash and the circles blue
热忱的同我攀谈
He looked as only a priest can thru
而我淡然回望 让我们稍作尝试吧
And his eyes said me and his eyes said you
他断然 不 你不会爱上这儿的
这蛮夷之地诠释不了你的满腹经纶
And my eyes said let us try
屋顶被飓风撕裂
房间裸露在冷风里
He said "You wouldn't like it here
而我发自肺腑地觊觎风 渴求寒冷
No it's no place you should share
他只得递来热酒让我握住
The roof is ripped with hurricanes
他渴望详察我端坐的灵魂
And the room is always bare
时而稚嫩 时而却尽显苍衰
他开始咬牙切齿地宣泄腹中牢骚
I need the wind and I seek the cold"
将其尽数泼洒在我的额前
He reached post the wine for my hand to hold
那么 当我虔诚起誓时
And he saw me young and he saw me old
该如何向神明发问呢
And he saw me sitting there
布道辞 赞美颂或悠扬情诗——
我该一概接受 占据己用么
Then he took his contradictions out
他祷求真理眷顾 追逐时光
And he splashed them on my brow
但他仅能拥有现在
这浪漫荒谬的爱已按响了门铃
So which words was I then to doubt
我们又能否得允通行呢
When choosing what to vow
抑或这爱将会在一人的愈发热切
另者的逐渐冰冷麻木中消失殆尽
Should I choose them all-should I make them mine
哦 那就从这枚戒指开始吧
The sermons the hymns and the valentines
听那基督徒的掌声 看那德国佬的嬉笑
And he asked for truth and he asked for time
全然不顾他们的大呼小叫：让我俩赢 或让我俩输
And he asked for only now
抑或让我俩都静默忏悔
Now the trials are trumpet scored
Oh will we pass the test
Or just as one loves more and more
Will one love less and less
Oh come let's run from this ring we're in
Where the Christians clap and the Germans grin
Saying let them lose crying let them win
Oh make them both confess
