I stood down in the shade of the sun 我在阳光下的树荫下站着

To look for some better days 寻找一些更好的日子

A better day had not yet dawned 一个更好的日子尚未破晓

Tried to cross where the water was wide 试图穿越这里的水是广

Thought I saw Eden across on the other side 以为我看到伊甸跨越的另一面

   

Oh Lord 哦，上帝

Lord don't you hear me 主你不听我的

Oh Lord 哦，上帝

Lord can't you hear me 上帝你能不能听到我

   

Oh Lord 哦，上帝

Lord don't you hear me 主你不听我的

   

I stood down in the shade of the sun 我在阳光下的树荫下站着

To look for my woman 寻找我的女人

My woman she was gone 我的女人，她已经走了

Kept a hammering away at the gate 养了骂个门

I kept a knocking but I was far too late 我不停地敲门，但我是为时已晚

   

Woman 女人

Woman don't you hear me 女人你不听我的

Woman 女人

Woman don't you hear me 女人你不听我的
