crooked muse - Gregory Alan Isakov

Pictures watch from the sidewalk past
照片在街边静静凝望
Poems go flying in the tracks
诗句随铁轨飘向远方
All we ever got left is a pile of things
我们仅剩的不过是堆积的过往
I visit you with nothing burning
我空手造访 未带灼热情肠
Hidden heart
心事暗藏
Stomach churning
胃里翻江
Circled in the words like the vultures
如秃鹫般在字句间盘旋游荡
Your mouth becomes a dictionary
你的双唇化作辞海浩瀚
Words without a holy theory
字字句句却无圣典可参
You're the only one on the page
唯有你是这页纸上光斑
Look it up to find my heart
翻阅千遍寻我心之所安
Tear that old s**t apart
将陈旧过往尽数撕散
Till you find the words to sum me up
直至寻得定义我的答案
I don't need no lullabies
我不需摇篮曲慰藉
You sit me down here and you cry
你按我坐下泪落如雨
The music man sings his mystery songs
音乐人吟唱着神秘旋律
He tries to put his finger on
试图捕捉那飘渺的灵感
There's things unfelt that he's always longed to feel
那些从未触及却始终渴望的感受
The things we all are destined to loose
我们终将失去的种种
While I seek out that crooked muse
当我追寻那扭曲的缪斯
You stole my heart and filled it up with blues
你偷走我的心 却灌满忧郁
I've been waiting for you and me to watch this world from a windows seat
我一直在等待 与你共赏窗外世界
Look down there
俯瞰人间
All them tiny creatures running crazy
那些微小生灵在疯狂奔逃
And I've been here on this precipice
而我始终伫立在这悬崖边缘
And I picked apart anything I bring
将携带的一切都拆解剖析
So we can toss our suitcase into the wind at last
终于能把行囊抛向呼啸的风
We've all the merry things we needed
我们曾拥有所有欢愉所需
It's time like this we remember to believe
正是此刻让我们重拾信仰
Let it roll
任其翻滚
Let it ride
任其漂流
Let it ride on me
让我来承担这一切
Lay me down here in your field
让我安眠在你的原野
They know just
他们心知肚明
What they steal
自己偷走了什么
