Closer to You

我品嚐過愛情的甜蜜

卻總是淺嚐輒止
Well I've tasted love so sweet
我從來沒有如此心動過
Played around but not for keeps
直到你的出現
I never been knocked off my feet
如同在一個空蕩蕩的房間
Till you came along
四周全是看不見的天使
In the room surrounding me
我知道他們會把我帶到
Are angels I cannot see
我屬於的那個地方
I know they come to carry me to
離你近一些，再近一些
Where I belong
我像個水手一樣得意洋洋地唱著歌

也像個服裝店裡穿著生日裝的小丑那樣
Closer to you, closer to you
向你走去
I'm singing like a sailor strutting up your avenue
那些你門前曾有過的訪客
Like a clown in a costume shop
他們曾留下的踱步
With a pocket full of jewels
以及他們被你拒絕的經歷

對我來說這些都不算什麼
All the knocks upon your door
那些國會山上的混蛋們
Footsteps fallen on your floor
那些美金上印著的罪犯們
All the shipwrecks on your shore
那些華爾街全部的錢加起來
Mean nothing to me
都不能阻止我向你走去
All the crooks on Capitol Hill
近一些，再近一些
Criminals on the dollar bills
像那個對著空房間佈道的傳教士一樣耿直
All the money on Wall Street still
像那個午後就已經在酒吧的醉漢一樣痴傻
Couldn't keep me from getting
只為離你再近一些

詩人都無法形容你名字的美麗
Closer to you. Closer to you
賭徒都不敢玩這個真心的遊戲
Like a priest on a pulpit preaching to an empty room
把火柴一樣的雕像點燃
Like a drunk in a dive bar in the early afternoon
都不如你手中的蠟燭明亮
Closer to you.
日落大道上的騙子

催眠師還有偽君子
Poets could not pronounce your name
街頭藝人還有小偷
Gamblers couldn't play the game
做夢都想像我這樣（離你更近一些）
Matchstick statues set to flame
我品嚐過愛情的甜蜜
Couldn't hold a candle to you
卻總是淺嚐輒止
Swindlers on the Sunset strip
我從來沒有如此心動過直到你的出現
Hypnotists and hypocrites
我會接受欺騙
Ventriloquists and Pickpockets
嫉妒還有虛榮心
Wish that they could get
以及你對我的考驗

因為我如此渴望能
Well I've tasted love so sweet
離你近一些，再近一些
Played around but not for keeps
像一個在廢品站裡發現寶貝的獵犬一樣
I never been knocked off my feet till you came along
我要對著月亮嚎叫著分享喜悅

像一個走進典當舖的海盜，口袋裡裝滿了珠寶那樣滿足
I sit through the trickery
只要能離你更近一些
The jealousy and vanity
我一定會通過的
The potency of your prophesy
寶貝，我一定會通過考驗的
Because I long to be
只為了離你更近一些

Closer to you. Closer to you
Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey
I'm howling at the moon
Like a Pirate in a pawnshop with a pocket full of jewels
Closer to you (x3)

I'll get through
Oh baby I'll get through
Closer to you
