Departure Bay

Departure Bay 歌詞
出發港---戴安娜·克勞

夏季的香味在蔓延
the fadding scent of summertime
樹莓林和冷杉
arbutus trees and firs
淋濕的苔蘚閃閃發光
the glistening of rain-soaked moss
黃昏時去DQ
going to the dairy queen at dusk
沿著狹長的小路
down narrow roads
在秋日里
in autumn light
空氣裡瀰漫著鹹鹹的味道，在鋸木廠

酒吧里、充斥著歌聲與眼淚
the salt air and the sawmills
去獻給過去的渡輪
and the bars are full of songs and tears
和渡輪上的船員他們的奇思妙想
to the passing of the tugboats
我剛剛回家，然後再次離開
and people with their big ideas
那是很久以前，在那遙遠的地方

而今我們一起在海邊打水漂
i just get home and then ileave again
交換著彼此的婚戒
it's long ago and far away
我們從港口離開駛向遠方
now we're skimming stones and
聖誕的燈光從空蕩盪的房子照出來
exchanging rings
這年過的很艱難
and scattering and sailing from departure bay
房間外掛著我們的大衣

飲下痛苦的結局
the house was bare of christmas lights
試著讓一切變好
it came down hard that year
就像我媽媽那樣
outside in our overcoats
回想去年我們的歡樂
drinking down to the bitter end
在教堂裡歌唱的我們是那麼美
trying to make things right
而現在屬於她的香水放在了浴室的角落
like my mother did
而我卻坐在後排默默地哭泣

我剛到家，然後就要離開
last year we were laughing
那是很久以前，在那遙遠的地方
we sang in church so beautifully
而今我們一起在海邊打水漂
now her perfume's on the bathroom counter
交換著彼此的婚戒
and i'm sitting in the back pew crying
我們從港口離開駛向遠方

留聲機依然在放著歌
i just get home and then i leave again
思考著回到原來的生活
it's long ago and far away
我們經歷了漫長的道路才會來
now we're skimming stones and
就像走完了整個馬拉哈（公路名）
exchanging rings
而今，飛機和時間都已經飛走
and scattering and sailing from departure bay
我不會再錯過所有的魅力

當我的心動時，處處薔薇花開
a song plays on the gramophone
但誰又知道我何時開始
and thoughts turn back to life
想去尋找一份愛帶她回家？
we took the long way to get back
僅僅是我在那裡，但我們將遙遙相對
like driving over the malahat
消逝了時間，卻依然很遠
now a seaplane drones and time has flown
而今我們一起在海邊打水漂

交換著彼此的婚戒
i won't miss all the glamour
我們從港口離開駛向遠方
while my heart is beating and the lilacs bloom
but who knew when i started
that i'd find a love and bring him home

just get me there and one we will stay
a long time off and far away
now we're skimming stones and
exchanging rings
we're scattering and diving in departure bay
