Written by：Janis Ian/Skip Ewing

They said lay down in the water
他们说沉入水中吧
Even though you don't believe
即使你并不相信
All your sins will be forgiven
你的罪孽终将得赦免
And your soul will be redeemed
你的灵魂终得救赎
So I walked into the water
于是我步入水中
And I fell down to my knees
双膝跪地虔诚祈祷
And I took out some insurance
我为自己留了后路
And I bought a little peace
换取片刻安宁
But when I lay down I lied
但当我躺下时 我仍在说谎
When I lay down I lied
当我躺下时 我仍在欺骗
He said darling do you love me
他问 亲爱的你爱我吗
And I said sure I do
我说 当然爱你
And I led him to believe me
我让他深信不疑
As I proved that it was true
用行动证明这份情意
Well I let my body love him
我放任身心去爱他
God knows I really tried
天知道我已竭尽全力
And the comfort of it touched him
那慰藉轻抚过他心间
And his heart was satisfied
他的灵魂终得安宁
But when I lay down I lied
但当我躺下时 我仍在说谎
When I lay down I lied
当我躺下时 我仍在欺骗
To make them happy
只为博他们一笑
And I lied so they would care
我撒谎换取关怀
I lied cause I was lonely
因孤独编织谎言
And I lied cause I was scared
恐惧让我口不择言
I lied so some would leave me
我撒谎只为让一些人离开
And I lied so some would stay
我撒谎只为让一些人留下
I lied until I lied my life away
我用谎言耗尽了自己的一生
I dreamed my life was over
我梦见生命已到尽头
And they laid me in my grave
他们把我安放进坟墓
I was frightened of forever
我恐惧永恒的存在
And the price I'd have to pay
和必须付出的代价
And I thought that god would hate me
我曾以为上帝会憎恨我
Cause I'd lived my life in sin
因我一生罪孽深重
But I felt the truth embrace me
却感受到真理的怀抱
As heaven let me in
天堂之门为我敞开
And when I lay down
当我躺下之时
I lay down and cried
躺下泪流满面
