    英文不好多糟糕。。。

    Lilac Land

    The morning so sweet has a way of disappearing
    That moment is lost to the day
    The truth I believed has a way of interfering
    With what I find I must say

    My heart is now broken
    And I fear we've run out of time

    The new growth of spring comes alive in such profusion
    I don't even mind when blossoms fall
    Your voice on the phone, it fills me with confusion
    I don't even want you to call

    My heart is now broken
    And we, we've run out of time


    the well

    And the spell it was broken
    And I saw with my own eyes
    I never knew that the water could rise so very high
    There was a time I remember
    There was a time it was otherwise
    There was a time that the water didn't rise and rise

    But the wide open water leads to the sea
    The wide open water can set you free

    I never learned to turn my boat
    into the waves to survive
    I let the cruel,cruel water just rise and rise


    Was there a time,can I remember?
    Was there a time when it was otherwise?
    Was there a time that the water didn't rise so very high?

    But the wide open water leads to the sea
    The wide open water can set you free

    But the wide open water leads to the sea
    The wide open water can set you free


    On the Aventine Hill 在阿文提诺山上

    Cheap champagne instead of rain香槟如雨
    A saffron dream come what will做一个番红花的梦
    The birds that sing in the middle of the night夜莺歌唱
    While the roses bloom on the hill在玫瑰盛开的山上

    Peace within and the traffics outside远离尘嚣,这里宁静如水
    The markets closed集市已散
    The day we sing in the middle of the night那个我们歌唱的午夜
    While the roses bloom玫瑰盛开

    A lightning storm to keep you warm雷雨天气让你感觉温暖
    Yellow light standing still黄光闪亮夜空
    The birds that sing in the middle of the night夜莺歌唱
    While the roses bloom on the hill在玫瑰盛开的山上

    Peace within and the traffics outside远离尘嚣,这里宁静如水
    The markets closed集市已散
    The day we sing in the middle of the night那个我们歌唱的午夜
    While the roses bloom玫瑰盛开

    On the Aventine在阿文提诺
    On the Aventine Hill在阿文提诺山上


    within these walls

    When I hold my hand above the flame
    When I hold my breath beneath the wave
    Come to me, find me there
    Come save me, find me there
    All I have is you

    In this world too unkind
    In this place too cold
    In this night that is too long

    When I lose sight of what is real
    When I can't escape the way I feel
    Come to me, find me there
    Come save me, find me there
    All I have is you

    In this world too unkind
    In this place too cold
    In this night that is too long

    In this world too unkind
    In this place too cold
    In this night that is too long


    Red flower

    Dear friend,you've lost your center
    And cannot find the rhyme
    That makes you whole

    We can try to tell you
    What you already know
    But it's not for the telling
    It's what you hold and let go

    It's when the words come easy
    They disappear
    What's near is all you know

    I can try to tell you
    About the ebb and flow
    But it's not for the telling
    It's what you hold and let go

    Let it float back to you,to your waiting hands
    Red flower,floating back


    Stars Never Fade

    The world through your eyes looks so elegant
    That perfect slanting light,the satin gowns
    Could it really be such a place of harmony?

    And the stars glitter off your walls
    And your stars never fade at all

    The moment is caught,saved forever
    That gaze in the glass,the shadowed room
    Could it really be or is it trick photography?

    And the stars glitter off your walls
    And your stars never fade at all

    Your daughters are there,full of tenderness
    That introspective look you know so well
    Could it really be such a happy family?

    And the stars glitter off your walls
    And your stars never fade at all


    A Silver Thread

    A silver thread so fine, weaves through our shared days
    Is this all we have, this moment so fine?
    Will the wind still blow after you have gone?
    It's so fragile, it breaks before you know

    How I wish for a way not to lose it all
    How can I save this moment so fine?
    Will the wind still blow after you have gone?


    The Turnaround

    Up all night, just to feel the breeze
    An attic room closed for centuries

    The turnaround, the change of key
    The open door, you gave to me

    A dusty book with tipped-in plates
    Brushes dipped in fresh white paint

    The turnaround, the change of key
    The open door, you gave to me

    An open door might lead you
    A million miles away
    But this heart will stay
    Beside you, beside you, beside you


    Cruel Queen

    The queen she divides her land into three
    She is as cruel as she wants to be
    Many an hour she sits there all alone
    All alone, but always thinking

    Which of my children loves me the best?
    I'll give them everything, leave none to the rest
    I'll give them all my land and my jewels too
    But my love, none shall have it

    Mother, dear mother, you've done me great wrong
    You married me when I was far too young
    The man was rich, but he left me with a child
    I need your gold to feed him

    Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong
    I married you to a great lord's son
    Find a new man for when I'm dead and gone
    As for gold, I'll give you nothing

    Mother, dear mother, if you see fit
    Grant me your kingdom and I'll watch over it
    I will rule your land as you would yourself
    For I am most like you

    Daughter, dear daughter, no, I don't see fit
    To give you my land, you'll have none of it
    Your words offend me for how could you presume
    That you could rule as I do?

    Which of my children loves me the best?
    I'll give them everything, leave none to the rest
    I'll give them all my land and my jewels too
    But my love, none shall have it

    Mother, dear mother, I do not want your land
    I don't want your riches, nor jewels on my hand
    My request is simple, it's every child's desire
    I only want your blessing

    Daughter, dear daughter, you're nothing but a fool
    This world is governed by one and only rule
    I will die with all my land and my jewels too
    And my love, none shall have it
