Split the Difference (Daddy's Lullaby)

Sunday night my apartment is empty
你和我說話，讓我近乎停留
Half drunk bottle lays on the floor
但我想知道我的孩子們正在做什麼
There's a balloon out on the lawn
星期天晚上我的公寓空無一人
Next to chewed out apple cores
半瓶酒倒在地板上
There's crayons on my coffee table
草坪上有個氣球
Play dough by a barbie horse stable
旁邊是咀嚼過的蘋果核
Never knew silence like this before
我的咖啡桌上有蠟筆
Till I'm cleaing up lemonade all sticky on the floor
在一個芭比馬厩裡玩橡皮泥
I wonder what my kids are doing right know
從來沒有過這樣的沉默
Do they miss me are they glad to be gone
直到我把地板上粘糊糊的檸檬汁清理乾淨
Saturday night was a lunar ecilpse
我想知道我的孩子們正在做什麼
I sang I'm to sleep when the song like this
他們是否想念我，他們是否高興離開
Go to sleep my weary babies
週六夜是個月蝕夜
Let the sounds roll on by
我為他們唱首像這樣的歌
Tonight we're safe here in houston
去睡吧，我疲倦的寶貝
With this your daddy's lullaby
讓音樂伴隨著你
Your mother's got a new boyfriend now
我們今晚在休斯頓這裡很安全
He seems alright
有爸爸為你唱著搖籃曲
I wonder if he's reading them stories
如今媽媽有了新丈夫
And kissing them good night
他似乎還可以
Babysitters say they miss me
我在想他是否為他們讀故事
Teachers says my daughter paints pictures of family
並親他們說晚安
All in blue
保姆說他們想我
She says she cought her whispering to the window
老師說我兒子畫了一張全家福
Daddy please come home
全帶著憂鬱
I know I should call her up
她說她看到他對著窗戶耳語
But what if his mother answers the phone
爸爸會回家嗎？
So I pick of the other man
我知道我可以打電話給他
Put all the colors away
但萬一他母親接電話呢？
I got a buddy named Jimmy
所以我選了另一個人
Do they miss me are they glad to be gone
把所有的顏色都收起來
Saturdaynight was a lunar ecilpse
我有一具叫吉米的屍體
I sang I'm song when just like this
他們是否想念我，他們是否高興離開
Go to sleep my weary babies
週六夜是個月蝕夜
Let the sounds roll on by
我為他們唱首像這樣的歌
Tonight we're safe here in houston
去睡吧，我疲倦的寶貝
With this your daddy's lullaby
讓音樂伴隨著你
