The Secret
The Secret - David Nail
秘密- 戴維尼爾
All gathered round in our Sunday best after the service on them old church steps
在老教堂梯級一番儀式後,大夥身著著禮拜服飾聚在了一起
Congregation spilling into the streets
會眾徘徊的身影充斥著整個街區
Ain t it funny how the preacher's words
可笑的是啊那教士的言語
Disappear out here on the curb
就這麼一無是處地銷匿在外了
Once the weight of an old friend's body and your hands meet
除了雙手觸碰逝去故友的身體悲痛難忍
Tending bar up in Syracuse，Momma called when she got the news
阿姨得知消息打來電話時還在Syracuse打理著酒吧
Hell, I don t know who she ll miss more, you or me
啊我不知道那一刻她更思戀的是你,還是我
No, it didn t feel real, no not til now
至今已來我都不敢追憶那時
Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town
我佇立在鎮上那長黑色殯儀車前的情境
Rolling by buildings I never thought again I'd see
車影留下的城鎮建築我想我也難以再次回想起來了吧
And I can t help but think about
但我又不得不去想啊
all that we could have been
明明還有那麼多時光能跟大家一起度過的
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
為什麼你執意要離開與他共度一生？
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
但願苦痛化作塵土
Buried is the secret that was us
我們彼此間的秘密就此埋葬了吧
I can still see you standing there
我仍能記起你站在遠處的樣子
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair
雙眼已哭得紅腫頭髮上還有著積雪
And your shaking voice say you couldn t get past the shame
你用著顫抖的聲音告訴我自己羞愧難當
Eight weeks into a nine month ride
你為此好幾個星期苦苦奔波
Either way it's still a lie
一來收穫的還只是謊言而已
Carrying your child with another man's name
落得終究改嫁他人與孩子令承他姓
And I can t help but think about
但我又不得不去想啊
all that we could have been
明明還有那麼多時光能跟大家一起度過的
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
為什麼你執意要離開 任自己的一生轉而荒謬？
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
但願苦痛化作青煙
Buried is the secret that was us
連同著我們的秘密就此埋沒
I walk up and shake his hand
我走向前去握著他的手
tell him just how sorry I am
向他坦誠我愧對自己
And what I wouldn t give to have you back
我沒有能力將逝者挽留
I wonder if you re looking down on
我在期盼你在天堂也能夠看到
all who is gathered round
此刻仍陪伴在你身旁的親友們
Knowing one day I too will find peace
知曉總有一天我和你能再次在天堂相會
And I can t help but think about
但我又不得不去想啊
all that we could have been
明明還有那麼多時光能跟大家一起度過的
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
為什麼你執意要離開任自己的一生轉而荒謬？
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
塵歸塵土歸土
Buried is the secret that was us
我們彼此間的秘密就此埋葬
Buried is the secret that was us
我們彼此間的秘密就此埋葬
