The Dirt Whispered

She got down on hands and knees
她跪在地面上
One ear against the ground
侧耳倾听
Holding her breath to hear something
屏住呼吸，努力寻找
But the dirt made not a sound tonight
但今夜的泥土一声不吭

远在异国的海岸上，歌声回荡
Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores
我们随歌起舞，取悦神灵
Where we danced just to please the Gods
神明却没有知足的时候，就这样继续
That only ask for more and so it goes
直至今日我们依旧重复
But still we give ourselves to this
可我们不能这样，等待着活
We can't spend our lives waiting to live
冰凉的夜晚，祈求黎明的祷告
On cold nights in a prayer for dawn
可黎明并不是她希望的
But daylight isn't what she wants
这该死的混凝土，又开始呼唤我
The concrete calls my name again
哧溜一下，我坠进了地缝里
I'm falling, through the cracks I slip
寄来的明信片上说，希望你也在这

但我宁愿身在他乡
The postcard says wish you were here
坚持简单的事情
But I'd rather I was there
在它们消失之前，
Holding on to the simple things
但是，此一时彼一时
Before they disappear, that's what I meant
现在，我会想办法弥补你
But that was then and this is now
冰凉的夜晚，祈求黎明的祷告
I'll make it up to you somehow
可黎明并不是她希望的
On cold nights in a prayer for dawn
这该死的混凝土，又开始呼唤我
But daylight isn't what she wants
哧溜一下，我坠进了地缝里
The concrete calls my name again
一个目的地，渐渐褪色的笑容
I'm falling, through the cracks I slip
一个站台，又是一段旅程
A destination, a fading smile
一天又过去了，请你一定等着我
Another station, another mile
我说过黎明前抵达，那么黎明前我会在你身边
Another day gone, but I swore that I will
她跪在地面上
Be there before dawn, so be there, I will
侧耳倾听

屏住呼吸，努力寻找
She got down on hands and knees
随便什么声音
One ear against the ground
突然间，泥土悄声说道 “孩子，我要回家啦”
Holding her breath to hear something
冰凉的夜晚，祈求黎明的祷告
Anything at all
可黎明并不是她希望的
The dirt whispered child I'm coming home
这该死的混凝土，又开始呼唤我
On cold nights in a prayer for dawn
哧溜一下，我坠进了地缝里
But daylight isn't what she wants
哧溜一下，掉进地缝
The concrete calls my name again
哧溜一下，掉进地缝
I'm falling, through the cracks I slip, I slip

Through the cracks I slip

Through the cracks I slip
