I was layin in bed

Wondrin if shed changed at all
猜想著她是否已徹底改變
If her hair was still red.

Her folks they said our lives together

Sure was gonna be rough

Papas bankbook wasnt big enough.

And i was standin on the side of the road
我站在路邊
Rain fallin on my shoes
雨水滴落在鞋子上
Heading out for the east coast

Lord knows ive paid some dues gettin through,

She was married when we first met

Soon to be divorced

I helped her out of a jam, i guess,
我猜我幫她走出了困境
But i used a little too much force.
但又給她帶來了壓力
We drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out west
把一切麻煩留在身後
Split up on a dark sad night
在一個悲傷的黑夜我們分開了
Both agreeing it was best.

She turned around to look at me

As i was walkin away
在我邁步離開時
I heard her say over my shoulder,

Well meet again some day on the avenue

I just kept lookin at the side of her face

In the spotlight so clear.

She was standing there in back of my chair

Said to me, dont i know your name? I muttered somethin underneath my breath,
對我說，“我好像知道你的名字？”我支支吾吾說不出話
She studied the lines on my face.
她仔細看著我的臉
I must admit i felt a little uneasy
當她彎腰為我係上鞋帶時，
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
我不得不承認心裡亂作一團
Tangled up in blue.
糾結而又抑鬱
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
她藉著爐火點燃我的煙
i thought youd never say hello, she said

you look like the silent type.Then she opened up a book of poems

And every one of them words rang true

Pourin off of every page
