Set The Fire To The Third Bar I find the map and draw a straight line Over rivers, farms, and state lines The distance from here to where you'd be It's only finger-lengths that I see I touch the place where I'd find your face My finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar There is no peace that I've found so far The laughter penetrates my silence As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises Ghosts with just voices Your words in my memory Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold gound I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar We'd share each other like an island Until exhausted, close our eyelids And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off Your soft skin is weeping A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold gound And I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms
And miles from where you are, I lay down on the cold gound and I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms
[中译] I find the map and draw a straight line 拿出地图 画上一条直线 Over rivers, farms, and state lines 穿越河流 农庄 跟州界 The distance from here to where you'd be 那是从我这里去你那里的距离 It's only finger-lengths that I see 不是只有一个指长的距离吗? I touch the place where I'd find your face 我不该触及到 那个你 My finger in creases of distant dark places 我把手放进看不见的黑暗奏折里
I hang my coat up in the first bar 我把大衣挂在第一个吧台上 There is no peace that I've found so far 从来没有这么平静过 The laughter penetrates my silence 突然笑声刺破寂寥 As drunken men find flaws in science 像个醉汉醒酒破了沉默
Their words mostly noises 那些字语真的好吵 Ghosts with just voices 鬼才会发出这样的声音 Your words in my memory 你的字字珠玑 Are like music to me 像歌曲一样一直复诵
I'm miles from where you are, 距离你几里之遥 I lay down on the cold gound 我卧躺在冰冷的地板上 And I,I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms 我祈求你的温暖能够带我走
After I have travelled so far 旅行了这么远之后 We'd set the fire to the third bar 我们放火烧了第三个吧台 We'd share each other like an island 我们共享彼此 像在孤岛 Until exhausted, close our eyelids 直到窘尽 映入眼帘 And dreaming, pick up from 像在梦里 我们开始的地方 The last place we left off 我们最后一次见面的地方 Your soft skin is weeping 你的柔软肌肤在哭泣 A joy you can't keep in 你再也无法参与那些欢愉了
I'm miles from where you are, 距离你几里之遥 I lay down on the cold gound 我卧躺在冰冷的地板上 And I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms 祈求你的温暖能够带我走
And miles from where you are, 距离你几里之遥 I lay down on the cold gound 我卧躺在冰冷的地板上 and I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms 我祈求你的温暖能够带我走
