Where my mother lay waiting

Under the marble and the snow
静默守候
I said mother I'm frightened
我说 妈妈那雷鸣闪电
The thunder and the lightning
让我很是害怕
I'll never come through this alone
我一个人无法安然度过这漫长黑夜
She said I'll be with you
她说 我会陪在你身边
My shawl wrapped around you
我的围巾会裹紧你
My hand on your head when you go
当你离去时 我的手会轻抚你的头
And the night comes on
寒夜降临
And it's very calm
万籁俱寂
I wanted the night to go on and on
我只是希望这黑夜能够再长点
But she said go back back to the world
