In my early years I hid my tears 在我早年我躲在我的眼泪

And passed my days alone 而单独通过我的天

Adrift on an ocean of loneliness 漂泊的孤独的海洋

My dreams like nets were thrown 我的梦象网被掀翻

To catch the love that I'd heard of 要赶上我听说的爱情

In books and films and songs 在书籍和电影和歌曲

Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy 现在有错觉和幻想的世界

In the place where the real world belongs 在现实世界中所属的地方

   

Still I look for the beauty in songs 不过我看在歌曲的美

To fill my head and lead me on 为了填补我的头，使我对

Though my dreams have come up torn and empty 虽然我的梦想纷纷拿出撕空

As many times as love has come and gone 多次爱情来了又走了

   

To those gentle ones my memory runs 那些温柔的人我的记忆中运行

To the laughter we shared at the meals 要笑，我们在吃饭的共享

I filled their kitchens and living rooms 我填的厨房和客厅

With my schemes and my broken wheels 与我的计划，我的破轮

It was never clear how far or near 这是从来没有明确如何远或近

The gates to my citadel lay 门到我的城堡打下

They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own 他们是从石头自己的一些梦想切割

But they listened to mine anyway 但是，他们听了雷反正

   

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say 我不知道我想要说

It could be I've lost my way 这可能是我失去了我的路

Though I keep a watch over the distance 虽然我一直在手表上的距离

Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday 天堂的距离不要小于是昨天

   

And the angels are older 和天使是老年人

They know not to wait up for the sun 他们不知道等待了的太阳

They look over my shoulder 他们期待着在我的肩膀

At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun 在地图和旅程的图纸我已经开始

   

Now the distance leads me farther on 现在距离更远使我

Though the reasons I once had are gone 虽然我曾经有过的原因都消失了

I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for 我一直在想我会找到我要找的

In the sand beneath the dawn 在曙光下的沙

   

But the angels are older 但天使是老年人

They can see that the sun's setting fast 他们可以看到太阳的设置快

They look over my shoulder 他们期待着在我的肩膀

At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past 在天堂中包含的过去的光的愿景

And they lay down behind me 他们放下我身后

To sleep beside the road till the morning has come 道路旁睡觉，一直睡到早晨已经到来

Where they know they will find me 他们哪里知道，他们会找到我

With my maps and my faith in the distance 与我的地图，我在远方的信仰

Moving farther on 移动更远
