Deep Water
The Middle East
Deep Water 歌詞
Green-eyed looker, it always pains me to see,
紅了眼的美人,總是讓我如此的痛苦
Hollowed out picture of skin and bone,
一張皮包骨頭的照片
The strangest stranger that I ever did meet,
那是我見過最奇怪的陌生人
Oh and I guess I ain't that old,
哦,那時的我或許還未經歷時間的洗禮
She came on strong with her own confidence,
那時的她自信滿滿
Made you sweat in your cotton, though it'll breathe,
讓你汗流浹背,儘管只剩下呼吸
The cruelest behaviour ain't born or mined (?),
殘暴的舉動絕非與生俱來,也並非後天養成
Feel her shell should just go and down the wine (?),
略帶矜持的她本應醉生夢死
It's deep water, driving rain,
水深不見底,雨傾盆而下
And all I can remember is a cold,
而我只記得那時的我屹立在寒風之中
Another burned out lover who was begging to leave,
一個精疲力竭的情人乞求著離開
She said “why wouldn't you tie your soul to me?”,
“為什麼不把靈魂託付給我呢?”
囚籠裡的一切都消失殆盡
Took all I had in my waiting cell,
虛實變得更加捉摸不透
And a little of what I just don't know,
但我開始忖度這一切
But I got my thinking up to where I fell,
我要讓愛人忘卻那些
And I let the memories of my lovers die,
那種滋味是苦澀的,是一道令人目眩的光
It's a bitter taste and a, a blinding light,
傷痕會在漫長歲月中褪去,眾人皆知
Time fade burns, most would know,
我牽著愛人的手
Took the hand of the, the woman I love,
我要讓她只屬於我
Now I am sure I'm gonna make her my own,
水深不見底,雨傾盆而下
It's the deep water, the driving rain,
我的方舟已經建成
I'm making a shelter of my own,
當耶穌到來之時,我將與他共進一餐
When Jesus comes he's gonna eat with me,
他會發現我們的孩子都已長大
And he's gonna find our children old,
必經之路,狼煙四起
環顧四周,如履薄冰
Got a road all laid out and trenched,
所到之處,便是黃泉
And mined enough for a walking pace,
主啊,我祈求再次看清那片土地
It seems so different from where I've come,
那些山川與河流
Oh Lord I'd love to see that, that place again,
如此艱苦的活著
With its deep water, mountain range,
如同人間煉獄
Full of those hard living kind,
那才是我最後的歸宿
Petrol stations and a copper mine,
The kind of place I think I could die,
