Where I knew she lay waiting

Under the marble and the snow

The thunder and the lightning
这雷鸣电闪
I'll never come through this alone"

My shawl wrapped around you
我的披肩轻覆你身
My hand on your head when you go
临别时掌心抚过你额发
And the night came on it was very calm

I wanted the night to go on and on

Now I look for her always

Then she bends to my longing

Like a willow like a fountain

I lie in her arms and says When I'm gone

The vesper bells ringing
晚钟轻轻回荡
The cat's curled asleep in his chair

I'll go down to Bill's Bar

I can make it that far

And I'll see if my friends are still there

Who forgive what you do

And the fewer who don't even care

I want to cross over I want to go home

And she says

Go back go back to the world
