Speed River at my feet running low and flat 速度河在我的脚下跑低平

I'm sitting here burning daylight, 我坐在这里烧日光，

thinking about the past 想着过去

and that distance out there 而这个距离在那里

where the earth meets the sky 当大地满足天空

The slightest move and this river mud 碰一碰，这河泥

pulls me further down 拉我进一步回落

John's at my side, but he's sitting on firmer ground 约翰在我身边，但他坐在地上走强

   

John says I look at the moon and the stars 约翰说：我看着月亮和星星

these days more often than I look into his eyes 这些天往往比我看着他的眼睛

and I can't disagree so I don't say nothing 我不能同意，所以我不说什么

I just stare on past his face at Venus rising, 我只是盯着过往的脸上金星升起，

like a shining speck of hope hanging over the horizon 像一个充满希望的闪亮的斑点挂在地平线上

   

With each passing year that I sit here 在过去的每一年，我坐在这里

that horizon seems to inch just that much nearer 在地平线上似乎英寸只是更接近

and all that appears on it seems as clear as spit 和所有在它看来似乎是明确的，因为吐

But if there's on thing in my life 但是，如果有对的事情在我的生命

that these years have taught 这些年来教过

it's that you can always see it coming 那就是，你总能看到它的到来

but you can never stop it 但你永远不能停止

   

Speed River at my feet running low and flat 速度河在我的脚下跑低平

I'm sitting here burning daylight, 我坐在这里烧日光，

thinking about the past 想着过去

and that distance out there 而这个距离在那里

where the earth meets the sky 当大地满足天空

The slightest move and this river mud 碰一碰，这河泥

pulls me further down 拉我进一步回落

John's at my side, 约翰在我身边，

but he's not noticing that I'm drowning 但他没注意到我淹没

The slightest move and this river mud 碰一碰，这河泥

pulls me further down 拉我进一步回落

John's at my side, 约翰在我身边，

but he's not noticing that I'm drowning 但他没注意到我淹没
