歌词
Album: Paper Airplane (2011)
Songwriter: Aoife O'Donovan
我要放下我肩头的重担
Gonna lay my burden down
终将自己埋进地底
Lay my body in the ground
无情的泥土，将我的肌肤变得冰凉
Cold clay against my skin
但这有何所谓？
But I don't care at all
我在世上最终还是没找到我所想要
所以，我将抱住我自己，长眠于地底
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
在六尺地下
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
我找到了我的归宿
Six feet underground
当我的灵魂升入天界
My feet are warm and dry
我会将你的照片高挂于墙
但是请放心，我不会去思念你
When I get to the other side
因为你我终将太过遥远
I'll put your picture way up high
如果我当时选择扬帆起航离开你
But I'm not coming back to you
你是否曾有过想来看我的念头？
It's just too far
或者你想让我从此
就此消失，沉溺于蔚蓝之下？
If I was cast out on the sea
或是我远走高飞
Would you come and look for me
竭尽全力飞到太阳高高挂起
Or would you just let me sink
最终在一个你看不见的树枝上降落
Beneath the waves so blue
在茫茫人海里搜寻着你的背影
然后我将降落在你的身旁
What if I had learned to fly
亲吻你，将你搂入怀中
Fly all night till day drew nigh
但是你知道，我不会久留
Touch down upon a branch and
因为我深知，我们的心距离如此遥远
Scan the crowd for you
亲爱的，我时常为你而哭
我为了你，付出了所有，遍体鳞伤
When I touch my feet on the land
而对你的言语又无言以对
I'll kiss your lips and take you in
我只能看到
But you know I'm not here to stay
我头顶的明月
It's just too far
在那深蓝的夜空中摇摇欲坠
我已虚弱地双膝跪地，
Darling can't you hear me cry
求求你，对我仁慈一点吧
My bones are broke
不要再折磨我了，你快走吧，不要让我在看见你
My tongue is tied
我的天使们也在梦里安慰我
The moon is swaying back and forth
但是已为时已晚，我难以听见
Against the navy sky
我闭眼祈祷
Is all that I can see
祈祷着明天对我的仁慈
My body is trembling on my knees
我如愿以偿
Just have a little mercy on me
在再次睁眼时看到了天堂的大门
Run away and hide
当我从喜悦中冷静下来
我知道，我已脱离苦海
When I sleep the angels sing
在我小时候，妈妈说过
But I cannot hear a thing
生活虽艰苦，但是没关系
Eyes closed
当一切都过去了
Dreaming of the better days gone by
你就会发现，这一生真的很短暂
很短暂。。。
When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down the joy I know
My race has just been won
When I was young my mom would say
Well life is hard, but that's OK
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far
