If You Were a Stone - Ron Pope

If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
你若为石 我要为雨
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
时时冲刷 点你成沙
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
你若为树 我要为土
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
紧抓根系 促你攀天
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say
万事万物 皆可比喻
It's never easy then it hurts
事事不易 伴疼随痛
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you
手捧真心 愿献于你
But we're both moving in reverse
却如夺钻 愈触愈远
I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
只盼你我 修得安稳
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
一如此刻 现世安好
But if you were a stone then I'd be the rain
你若为石 我要为雨
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
时时冲刷 点你成沙
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
你若为树 我要为土
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
紧抓根系 促你攀天
Some nights you're a photograph fading in my memory
偶有长夜 记忆消隐
Some days I feel you on my skin
也有时日 肌肤相依
We're trading silence
买卖沉默 换此安宁
There are words that seem to steal our breath
曾有言语 令人窒息
And I just dream about your lips
所有欲念 栖于唇齿
I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
只盼你我 修得安稳
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
一如此刻 现世安好
But if you were a stone then I'd be the rain
你若为石 我要为雨
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
时时冲刷 点你成沙
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
你若为树 我要为土
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
紧抓根系 促你攀天
We'd count the stars
共数星辰 共看银河
My hands in your leaves
满枝绿叶 裹我手掌
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep
你我相依 沉沉入梦
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
你若为石 我要为雨
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
时时冲刷 点你成沙
I will wait I will wait I will wait for
我愿等待 我愿等待
I will wait I will wait I will wait for
我愿等待 我愿等待
I will wait I will wait I will wait for you
等风等雨 等一心人
I will wait I will wait I will wait for
我愿等待 我愿等待
I will wait I will wait I will wait for
我愿等待 我愿等待
I will wait I will wait I will wait for you
等花等鸟 等一心人
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
你若为石 我要为雨
I'd turn you to sand as the time slips away
时时冲刷 点你成沙
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
你若为树 我要为土
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
紧抓根系 促你攀天
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
你若为石 我要为雨
I'd turn you to sand as the time slips away
时时冲刷 点你成沙
