it was three in the morning 那是凌晨三点

there was a low drone of katydids behind your voice 有你的声音背后螽斯低无人机

when i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania 当我下来，从宾夕法尼亚州的哈里斯堡

and i saw you by the highway 我看到你在高速公路

   

you asked me if the north was alright 你问我，如果北方是好的

and i said it got kind of cold at night 我说这有一种寒冷的夜晚

i could feel your bones shivering way down there in birmingham 我能感觉到你的骨头颤抖地在那边的伯明翰

and when i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania 当我下来，从宾夕法尼亚州的哈里斯堡

and i saw you by the highway 我看到你在高速公路

   

you reminded me of all the things you'd given up forever 你想起了你会放弃永远的事情我

and you asked about the children 你问孩子们

and you asked about the weather 你问天气

and then i came down from harrisburg pennsylvania 然后我下来，从宾夕法尼亚州的哈里斯堡

and i saw you by the highway 我看到你在高速公路
