We sold our sons and we sold our daughters 我们卖我们的儿子，我们卖我们的女儿

Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers 很快我们就卖我们的兄弟

We took the gold, but the gold was water 我们采取了黄金，但黄金是水

I tried to save the world, but I failed her 我试图拯救世界，但我失败了

She cries the tears that I never left her 她哭，我从来没有离开过她的眼泪

I left them all behind 我离开了他们一切的背后

You were sitting in your darkest hour 你坐在你最黑暗的时刻

Summer's gone 夏天走了

We tried to make the world so much better 我们试图让这个世界如此美好

We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter 我们派了一个漂亮的芬芳信我们的话

You sit alone in your ivory towers 你独自一人坐在你的象牙塔

I'm just one person, I don't matter 我只是一个人，我无所谓

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven 你轻点针，你去了天堂

You left it all behind 你离开这一切的背后

Now you're feeling oh so better 现在，你感觉是如此的好

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Too high to fly 过高飞

You should've seen me there (Yeah) 你应该已经看到我在那里（是啊）

Too high to fly, my baby 过高飞，我的宝贝

But you were almost there 但你几乎没有

The sun shines down on my face 阳光照下来我的脸

But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no) 但你不觉得一个东西（不，不，不）

The lines on the street, and the some rises 街道上的线条，以及一些上升

You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby 你看太长时间的天堂，现在你蒙蔽，婴儿

Another morning sun 另一个早晨的太阳

Another day gone by 又一天过去了

The storm's coming 暴风雨的来临

With the pouring rain 随着瓢泼大雨

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation) 暴风雨来临时的大雨（救世军）

The lines in the street, and the smoke rises 在大街上线，烟雾上升

Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it Wanderin 轮四十天，希望你找到它

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
