It was raining hard in 'Frisco
旧金山夜雨滂沱
I needed one more fare to make my night
再载一程我就能收工
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
前方有位女士挥手拦车
She got in at the light
她在红灯时上了车
Oh where you going to
你要去哪儿呢
My lady blue
我忧郁的女士
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
真遗憾雨水打湿了你的裙摆
She just looked out the window
她只是凝望窗外
She said sixteen

Parkside

Lane

Something about her was familiar

I could swear I'd seen her face before
我发誓曾见过这张脸
But she said

I'm sure you're mistaken
你肯定认错人了
And she didn't say anything more
便再没多说一句
It took a while but she looked in the mirror
她迟疑片刻望向车镜
And she glanced at the license for my name
瞥见执照上我的姓名
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
笑意在她唇边缓缓浮现
It was a sad smile
那抹微笑
Just the same
依然带着忧伤
And she said

How are you Harry

I said how are you Sue

Through the too many miles
穿越无数里程
And the too little smiles
与寥寥笑意
I still

Remember you

It was somewhere
那仿佛
In a fairy tale
童话般的相遇
I used to take her home in my car
我曾开车送她回家
We learned about love in the back of the dodge
在那辆道奇车后座 我们初尝爱的滋味
The lesson hadn't gone too far
可惜那堂课没能上完
You see she was gonna be an actress
她梦想成为耀眼明星
And I was gonna learn to fly
而我渴望翱翔蓝天
She took off to find the footlights
她转身追逐舞台灯光
Oh I've got
如今我心中
Something inside me
仍藏着未诉的衷肠
To drive a princess blind
载着迷失的公主前行
There's a wild man wizard
有个狂野的巫师
He's hiding in me
藏在我心底
Illuminating my mind
照亮我的思绪
Oh I've got
如今我心中
Something inside me
仍藏着未诉的衷肠
But it's not what my life's about

'Cause I've been

Letting

My outside tide me

Over 'till my time
将我淹没 直到时光
Runs out

Runs out

Baby's so high that she's skying

She's flying

Afraid to fall

I'll tell you why baby's crying
让我告诉你她为何哭泣
'Cause she's dying
因为她正在凋零
Aren't we all
我们又何尝不是
There was not much
我们之间
More for us to talk about
已无话可说
Whatever we had once was gone
曾经拥有的一切早已消逝
So I turned my cab into the driveway
于是我调转车头驶入车道
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns
穿过大门与修剪整齐的草坪
And she said

We must get together

But I knew it'd never be arranged

And she handed me twenty dollars

For a two fifty fare

Harry

Keep the change
不用找了
Well another man might have been angry
换作他人或许早已怒火中烧
And another man might have been hurt
换作他人或许早已心碎神伤
But another man never would have let her go
但唯有我不会强留她在身旁
I stashed the bill in my shirt
我将钞票默默收进衣衫
And she walked
看着她
Away in silence
沉默地离去
It's strange
多奇妙
How you never know
这世事难料
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for

Such a long
只是那已是
Long time ago
很久很久以前

I go flying

So high

When I'm stoned
