Black River Killer

It was just a little while past the sunset strip
刚经过日落大道的不远
They found the girl's body in an open pit
他们在敞开的深坑里发现了一名女子的尸体
Her mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes were still wide
她的双唇被紧紧缝在一起，但她的眼睛却睁得大大的
Gazing through the fog to the other side
凝视着茫茫大雾中的另一端
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail
警察们潦草结案，归罪与我，将我扔进监狱
With no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail
没有保释，我静静坐在生锈的桶旁边
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall
只能盯着对面墙上的涂鸦发呆
Remembering the music of my lover's call
回想着爱人的呼唤
So you make no mistake
所以你别搞错了
[01:39.76]I know just what it takes
我只是知道
[01:41.27]To pull a man's soul back from heaven's gates
为了从天堂门口拯救回一个人的灵魂需要付出些什么
[01:43.88]I've been wandering in the dark about as long as sin
我一直徘徊在黑暗与罪孽之中
[01:46.87]But they say it's never too late to start again
但人们都说什么时候重来都不晚
[00:55.19][01:50.20][01:56.18][02:39.63][02:45.19][02:51.54][02:56.99]Oh when, oh when
噢，什么时候
[02:42.80]Will the spirit come a calling for my soul's sin
什么时候圣灵会来召走我灵魂的罪恶？
[01:58.93][02:47.88]Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
噢，什么时候
It was dark as the grave, it was just about three
什么时候我才能再次拥有通往王国的钥匙？
When the warden with his key came to set me free
这里如坟墓般黑暗，但只要数到三
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit
监狱长就会带着钥匙来释放我
A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute
他们给我五美元和一套二手西装
So I took a bus down to the Rio Grande
一把手枪，一顶帽子，一支破旧的长笛
And I shot a man down on the edge of town
我搭上巴士来到了格兰德河
Then I stole me a horse and I rode it around
在城镇边缘我射杀了一个人
Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down
我偷了他的马，骑着它四处逛
He said, you make no mistake
直到警长把我抓到，将我按住
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul to sin
他说，你别搞错了
Well the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song
我只是知道
So I took the first train up to Oregon
为了从天堂门口拯救回一个人的灵魂需要付出些什么
And I killed the first man that I came upon
我一直徘徊在黑暗与罪孽之中
Because the devil works quick, you know it don't take long
但人们都说什么时候重来都不晚
Then I went to the river ford to take a swim
噢，什么时候
You know that black river water is as black as sin
什么时候圣灵会来召走我灵魂的罪恶？
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe
噢，什么时候
And then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade
什么时候我才能再次拥有通往王国的钥匙？
Will that black river water wash me clean again
警长放我走了，给了我一把刀和一首歌
Will thee keys to the kingdom be mine again
所以我赶上了第一班通往俄勒冈州的火车
