I hung out with the old folks 我挂出的老街坊

In the hope that I'd get wise 希望我会得到智慧

I was trying to bridge the gap 我试图缩小差距

Between the great divide 巨大鸿沟之间

   

Hung on every recollection 挂在每一个回忆

In the theater of their eyes 在他们眼中的剧场

Picking up on this and that 关于这一点，并认为捡

In the few that still survived 在少数仍然存活

   

Call 'em up, n' dust 'em off, let 'em shine 叫举起手来， N灰尘时间了，让我们让他们大放异彩

The ones who hold onto the the ones 谁抓住了那些那些

They had to leave behind 他们必须留下

Those that flew and those that fell 那些飞和那些下跌

The ones that had to stay 那些不得不呆在

Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away 下方的小木制十字架大洋彼岸

   

They bend like trees in winter 他们弯腰像冬天的树

These shuffling old grey lions 这些洗牌老灰狮

Those snow-white stars still gather 那些雪白的明星仍然聚集

Like the belt around Orion 像周围的猎户座腰带

   

Just to touch the faded lightning 只需触摸闪电消失

Of their powerful design 其强大的设计

Of a generation gathering 一代人聚会

For maybe the last time 对于可能是最后一次

   

Call 'em up, n' dust 'em off, let 'em shine 叫举起手来， N灰尘时间了，让我们让他们大放异彩

The ones who hold onto the the ones 谁抓住了那些那些

They had to leave behind 他们必须留下

Those that flew and those that fell 那些飞和那些下跌

The ones that had to stay 那些不得不呆在

Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away 下方的小木制十字架大洋彼岸

   

Oceans away 大洋彼岸

Where the green grass sways 青草摇曳

And the cool wind blows 而酷察言观色

Across the shadow of their graves. 在其坟墓的影子。

Shoulder to shoulder back in the day 比肩早在一天

Sleeping bones to rest in earth, oceans away 睡骨休息地球，海洋走

   

Call 'em up, n' dust 'em off, let 'em shine 叫举起手来， N灰尘时间了，让我们让他们大放异彩

The ones who hold onto the the ones 谁抓住了那些那些

They had to leave behind 他们必须留下

Those that flew and those that fell 那些飞和那些下跌

The ones that had to stay 那些不得不呆在

Beneath a little wooden cross oceans away 下方的小木制十字架大洋彼岸
