The Sighting

It was a dark and clouded night
那是一个乌云密布的夜晚
Where neither star nor moon would shine
星月无光
Yet standing in a pool of light
站在仅存的亮光处
Like Saturn with its rings
如同土星带着他的光环

寂寞的闪烁不安
A lonesome figure gleamed
如此高远、原始、永恒
So tall and wild and evergreen
连同根基一起奔向海洋
With roots that reached out for the sea
如同风中的舞者
Like dancers in the wind
喔

爱情
Oh, hi
离我
Love
那么远

那些被海洋腌过的悬崖无法被丈量
So far from
失败的人们留下的痕迹
From me
他们的尸骨姿势离奇而且易碎

婉如岩石生出了花
Those salt cliffs can’t be scaled
满足地坐在哪里等待
The evidence of those who failed
向你的命运低头
Their skeletons lay strange and frail
一动不动，无欲无求
Like lace among the rocks
你就站在那里袖手旁观

喔
So content to sit and wait
爱情
So dedicated to your fate
如此高远
To never move, to never chase
可望不可及
You just stand up there and watch
的你

喔
Oh, hi
爱情
Love
为什么

如此对我？
So high up
我希望你能够
Will you always be
尽情舞蹈
Out of reach?
我看见

你被深深束缚住
Oh, hi
可是这自由
Love
我给不了你

Oh, why
Love?

I wish that you would
Jump
But I can see
Your ties run deep

And it’s not for me
To cut you free
