She got down on hands and knees, 她跪在跪在地上，

One ear against the ground, 一只耳朵对地面，

Holding her breath to hear something, 抱着她一口气把听到的东西，

But the dirt made not a sound tonight 但污垢做不健全，今晚

   

Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores, 歌曲回响仍然潜伏在遥远的海外领地，

Where we danced just to please the gods that only ask for more, 我们跳舞只是为了取悦神灵，只有要求更多，

So it goes 如此这般

   

But still we give ourselves to this 但我们仍然把自己献给这个

We can't spend our lives waiting to live 我们不能用我们的生命等着住

   

On cold nights 在寒冷的夜晚

In a prayer for dawn 在祈祷黎明

But the daylight 但白天

Isn't what she wants 是不是自己想要的东西

   

The concrete 具体

Calls my name again 再次呼吁我的名字

I'm falling 我跌倒

Through the cracks I slip 通过I滑裂缝

   

The postcard says wish you were here 明信片说，希望你在这里

But I'd rather I was there, 但我宁愿我在那里，

Holding on to the simple things before they disappear, 抱着一种简单的事情才消失，

That's what I meant 这就是我的意思

   

But that was then, and this is now 但是，当时，这是现在

I'll make it up to you somehow 我会补偿给你以某种方式

   

On cold nights 在寒冷的夜晚

In a prayer for dawn 在祈祷黎明

But the daylight 但白天

Isn't what she wants 是不是自己想要的东西

   

The concrete 具体

Calls my name again 再次呼吁我的名字

I'm falling 我跌倒

Through the cracks I slip 通过I滑裂缝

   

A destination, a fading smile. 目的地，褪色的笑容。

Another station, another mile. 另一站，一英里。

Another day gone, I swore that I will. 还有一天走了，我发誓我会的。

Be there before dawn. 天亮前在那里。

So be there, I will. 所以在那里，我会的。

   

She got down on hands and knees, 她跪在跪在地上，

One ear against the ground, 一只耳朵对地面，

Holding her breath to hear something, 抱着她一口气把听到的东西，

Anything at all 任何事情

   

The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home" 污垢低声说， “孩子，我要回家”

   

On cold nights 在寒冷的夜晚

In a prayer for dawn 在祈祷黎明

But the daylight 但白天

Isn't what she wants 是不是自己想要的东西

   

The concrete 具体

Calls my name again 再次呼吁我的名字

I'm falling 我跌倒

Through the cracks I slip 通过I滑裂缝
