Late the other day when the earth turned away 迟到的一天，当地球拒之门外

I found a little book [?] in the grey 我在灰色的发现了一个小本子[？]

[?] flower drawn like a child on the cover [？]花画得像个孩子上封面

It was the story of the raven and the mushroom man 这是乌鸦的故事和蘑菇的人

He was the first real friend he ever had 他是第一个真正的朋友，他曾经有过

   

I never want to be like that serious man 我从来没有想成为那样的人严重

Telling himself he is serious 告诉自己，他是认真的

Always counting those numbers 总是指望这些数字

He's got a red face and a mushroom head 他有一个红色的脸和一个蘑菇头

He's been too long in the rat race 他已经太长时间的激烈竞争

Too long in the dead days 过长的死天

   

If only a raven with a sore wing 如果只用一个疼痛的乌鸦翅膀

Could fall at his feet with eyes full of mercy 可能坠落在他的脚下眼睛充满怜悯

The little mushroom man might fashion 小蘑菇人也许时尚

A little splint out of driftwood 小夹板出的浮木

And he might feel a little light shine 他会觉得有点光芒闪耀

He might see his own kindness 他可能看到了自己的善良

And think that maybe counting isn't everything 并认为，也许计算不是万能的

Maybe there are more ravens that need me more than numbers 也许有更多的乌鸦说需要我更多的不是数字

   

The mushroom man loved the raven so 蘑菇人爱你那乌鸦等等

And deep inside his heart grew a thing called hope 而在内心深处他的心脏长了东西叫希望

One Sunday night the raven was weak 一个星期天的晚上，乌鸦弱

He didn't wake up and the mushroom man weeped 他没有醒来，蘑菇人weeped

Caused his planet to leak 引起他的星球泄漏

   

Well he buried his friend and he buried his books 嗯，他埋葬了他的朋友和他埋葬他的书

He looked out to space and his head he shook 他看向空间和他的头，他握了握

As he looked out across the escape 当他看着窗外的逃逸

A sapling rose grew from the raven's grave 从乌鸦的坟墓树苗长大的玫瑰

From the raven's grave hope had sprung 从乌鸦的坟墓的希望已经如雨后春笋般涌现

He knew then how it had been done 他当时就知道它是如何被做

As he tended to the raven's wing a seed of hope had grown within 当他倾向于乌鸦的翅膀希望的种子已经在生长

And now it grows for all to see and his planet is no longer just he 而现在它的增长是有目共睹的，并他的星球不再仅仅是他
