Now You Know

Its okay dad you can go
爸爸放心走吧
Were all here
這裡交給我們
And we know
我們都知道
That youre traveling soon
你將要啟程
Ive sung you all the songs that I can sing
我會吟誦歌謠為你餞行
Mostly George Formby with none of the strings
正如福姆比的清唱(喬治·福姆比: 英國著名演員、歌手,常見手持尤克里裡自彈自唱)

荒謬的是生命終結處
Its funny where we can end up
竟然一片荒蕪
A life in fields
那正是你足下
And now youre here
寸草不生的土地
Not a blade of grass
你出生在澳大利亞鄉野間
You were born in wild Australia
付出一番氣力才走到今天
Had to go a long way to be who you are
最後我還是選擇

倚靠在你的額前
I did this thing towards the end
將你摟在懷中不願鬆手
Where I put my head right against your head
將你的每一寸靈魂烙入記憶
And I just hold it there
以獨自捱過無你相伴的未來
And tried to store up every single vein
我們永不分別
Fixed in my mind for all tomorrows days
在這塵世上最後一夜
For all tomorrows days
與你再憶似水年華

溫柔凝視直至你沉入酣眠
And so to the last night of your stay
這是此生唯一一次
Waited up all night
你可知道再沒有一夜更勝此時
And watched you sleep
我如此貼近你的夢境
Ive never done that before
在那個放緩了腳步的
And you know what, it was the best night of my life
週二午後
To be close to your dreams for the very first time
你臥床不起

死神俯身向你低語
It was a gentle afternoon
打開窗許你靈魂以自由
I think Tuesday
飄向漫漫餘生
And there you lay
或許午夜之際
You were trying to die
你再次經過醫院的停車場
We opened up the window so you could fly
時光忽而回溯
Soar away into the rest of our lives
你向母親傾訴失眠之苦
I just hope you made it past the hospital car park
直言對死亡的恐懼

但你同樣期待生之彼岸
In the middle of the night
此刻你將前往那裡
Some years back
你將揭曉謎底
You told your wife that you could not sleep
You said that you were scared to die
But you were curious to see other side
Well now you know
Now you know
