Written by：Robert Elli

It was field of bamboo trees
那曾是一片翠竹林
Behind the house down by the creek
屋后溪流潺潺处
And the summer there got so hot
夏日炎炎似火烧
There were swarms of mosquitos
蚊虫成群飞舞
Around that old wood dock
绕着旧木码头转
But that field was all cut down
如今竹林尽砍伐
Oh I akin back there
离乡后我常怀念
Since I left town
那片故土风光
And that dark house
那座幽暗的老屋
All but washed away
几乎被冲刷殆尽
Just a crude reminder
仅存的残垣断壁
Of what it was yesterday
诉说着昨日模样
It was there that
正是在那里
I first learnt to shoot
我初次学会射击
I steadied my aim
稳住颤抖的准星
Pulled the trigger of that old 202
扣动那把老式202的扳机
I learnt to build things made of scrap wood
我曾用废旧木材学着搭建
With hammer and nails I did I could
挥舞铁锤与钉子竭尽所能
To be just like you
只为能像你一样
But sold those guns and bought a car
如今卖掉猎枪换了汽车
I don't have nowhere to shoot them
再无处扣动扳机
I don't have a backyard
后院已不复存在
And I don't build much anymore
也很少动手制作了
I spend all night time working
整夜埋头苦干
Buy what I need at the store
在商店买所需品
Ain't it funny how memories can feel
回忆的触感多奇妙
Ain't it strange what time can steal
时光偷走的多离奇
There ain't one thing good
沉溺过往毫无益处
About being on the bad and overdeal
就像赌局输得彻底
Like getting memories in place of something that was real
徒留回忆替代真实存在
Ain't it funny how things can change
世事变迁多讽刺
Ain't it strange what comes with age
岁月带来的变迁 多么令人唏嘘
There ain't nothing good about getting
年岁渐长 白发苍苍
Old and going grey
这过程哪有半分美好
And losing dear friends along the way
沿途不断失去挚友 只剩惆怅
