Autumn came around like a drifter to an on-ramp 秋天到来的时候像一个流浪汉到匝道

There were wet leaves floating in gutters full of rain 有湿树叶漂浮在排水沟满了雨

Took to walking barefoot around town 走上赤脚走在小镇

Melodies from grade school kicking in my brain 踢在我的大脑从小学的旋律

   

Saw you on the crosstown bus today, you were reading a magazine 看到你今天的同城公交车上，你在读一本杂志

I turned my face away and I shut my eyes tight 我把我的脸离我闭上我的眼睛紧张

Dreamed about the flowers that hide from the light 梦见从光隐藏花

On dark hillsides in the hidden places 就在隐蔽的地方黑暗的山坡

   

The brakes howled and the bus pulled up near my house 刹车怒吼和总线拉起我家附近

And I got off at the corner 我在拐角处下车

Pulled my sleeves down over my hands, over my hands 拉着我的衣袖下来了我的手，在我的手

And I wished I was someone else and I wished it was warmer 我希望我是别人，我希望它是温暖的

   

And when I got home I thought about you 而当我回到家我想你

Like a desperate policeman searching for clues 像一个绝望的警察寻找线索

And I almost passed out just then and I shut my eyes again 我差点晕了过去就在这时，我又闭上我的眼睛

Headed for the dark hillsides, in the hidden places 走向黑暗的山坡，在隐蔽的地方
