The stairs are dark and silent 楼梯是黑暗和沉默

The morning cold and gray 早上冷灰

A last look at the things I knew 一上一下的事情，我知道

And slowly turn away 慢慢地转身离去

And as I watch the scenery unwind 当我看风景的展开

My childhood slips a hundred miles behind 我的童年滑倒一百英里的背后

   

Leave the bus in Houston 留在休斯敦的公交车

Walk around the town 逛完小镇

But all the strange, unfriendly faces 但是，所有的怪，不友善的面孔

Seem to get me down 似乎让我失望

And in the park where little children play 而在公园，小孩子玩

I sit and watch the dying of the day 我坐下来，看日出的死

   

I'm a small and lonely light 我是一个小而寂寞的光

A bird that's lost in flight 在失去了飞翔的鸟

And it's too late at night to go home 而且为时已晚，晚上回家

I'm a tall and weary kite 我是一个高大而疲惫的风筝

A face that's out of sight A面那看不见的地方

And it's too late at night to go home 而且为时已晚，晚上回家

   

Always had the good life 总是有美好的生活

Never felt unsure 从来不觉得不确定

But now the good life's not enough 但现在的美好生活是不够的

There must be something more 必须有更多的东西

And so I sit and shiver in the dawn 于是我坐下来，颤抖的曙光

And watch the world and wait to be reborn 看世界，等待重生

   

I'm a small and lonely light 我是一个小而寂寞的光

A bird that's lost in flight 在失去了飞翔的鸟

And it's too late at night to go home 而且为时已晚，晚上回家

I'm a tall and weary kite 我是一个高大而疲惫的风筝

A face that's out of sight A面那看不见的地方

And it's too late at night to go home 而且为时已晚，晚上回家

Too late at night to go home 太晚了，晚上回家

But I've talked too long my friend 但我已经说过太长时间我的朋友
