Duncan
Couple in the next room
隔壁房間的情侶
Bound to win a prize
決心要贏得獎品
They've been going at it all night long
他們一整晚都在努力
Well, I'm trying to get some sleep
我嘗試入睡
But these motel walls are cheap
但是汽車旅館的牆壁是那麼薄
Lincoln Duncan is my name
林肯.鄧肯是我的名字
And here's my song, here's my song
而這是我的歌,這是我的歌
我的父親是一位漁夫
My father was a fisherman
我媽媽是漁夫們的朋友
My mama was the fisherman's friend
我在厭倦中出生
And I was born in the boredom
我在混亂中出生
And the chowder
所以當我長為青年
So when I reached my prime
我離開了我沿海的家
I left my home in the Maritimes
一路沿著高速路向
Headed down the turnpike for
新英格蘭前進,甜蜜的新英格蘭
New England, sweet New England
我有缺乏的信心
我有膝蓋破洞的牛仔褲
Holes in my confidence
我身無分文
Holes in the knees of my jeans
哦,我是那麼貧窮
I was left without a penny in my pocket
像一個孩童一樣
Oo-we, I was about destituted
我希望我戴著戒指
As a kid could be
這樣我便可以抵押它,我願意抵押它
And I wished I wore a ring
在停車場的年輕女孩
So I could hock it, I'd like to hock it.
在向人群傳教
唱著聖歌
A young girl in a parking lot
讀聖經的選段
Was preaching to a crowd
我告訴她我迷失了
Singing sacred songs and reading
她便和我講起聖靈降臨節
From the Bible
於是我便把那個女孩視為通往
Well, I told her I was lost
我的救贖的道路
And she told me all about the Pentecost
我知道,我知道,我知道,我知道,我知道,我知道...
And I seen that girl as the road
那天晚上
To my survival
當我舉著電筒向她的帳篷匍匐前進
我常年的天真無邪便結束了
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...
她把我帶到樹林裡
她說,這有一些棒極了的事物
Just later on the very same night
於是我像一隻小狗成為了她的朋友
When I crept to her tent with aflashlight
成為了她的朋友
And my long years of innocence ended
哦,多麼美好的夜晚
Well, she took me to the woods
哦,那充滿歡樂的花園
Saying here comes something and it feels so good
時至今日,甜蜜的回憶依然在徘徊
And just like a dog I was befriended
我彈起我的吉他
I was befriended
在群星之下
只想感謝上帝
Oh, oh, what a night
賜予我手指
Oh, what a garden of delight
賜予我手指
Even now that sweet memory lingers
無需言說,無需言說,無需言說
I was playing my guitar
Lying underneath the stars
Just thanking the Lord
For my fingers
For my fingers
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...
