Fire at Midnight
I believe in fires at midnight
我相信冥冥午夜有火燃燒
When the dogs have all been fed
此時狗已安頓舒適
A golden toddy on the mantle
壁爐上是瓶金色棕櫚酒
A broken gun beneath the bed
床板下是支破舊的槍
Silken mist outside the window
窗外迷霧如絲綢
Frogs and newts slip in the dark
青蛙和蠑螈在黑暗中竄行
Too much hurry ruins a body
行色匆忙無益身心
I'll sit easy, fan the spark
我將安坐,鼓風吹火
Kindled by the dying embers
即將熄滅的灰燼
Of another working day
燃起新的一天
Go upstairs, take off your makeup
走上樓去,卸下紅妝
Fold your clothes neatly away
打點衣物,整潔收好
Me, I'll sit and write this love song
而我,我將安坐,寫下這首情歌
As I all too seldom do
如此情形鮮少出現
Build a little fire this midnight
在這午夜燃起一簇火苗
It's good to be back home with you
回家陪在你身邊真好
Kindled by the dying embers
即將熄滅的灰燼
Of another working day
燃起新的一天
Go upstairs, take off your makeup
走上樓去,卸下紅妝
Fold your clothes neatly away
打點衣物,整潔收好
Me, I'll sit and write this love song
而我,我將安坐,寫下這首情歌
As I all too seldom do
如此情形鮮少出現
Build a little fire this midnight
在這午夜燃起一簇火苗
It's good to be back home with you, back home with you
回家陪在你身邊真好,回家陪在你身邊
It's good to be back home with you
回家陪在你身邊真好
Home with you, with you
家就是你,你就是家
