I spend my evenings singing songs 我把我晚上唱歌

I wonder if she hears my call 我不知道她是否听见我的呼唤

   

Though I am far away and I am all alone 虽然离我很远，我独自一人

There are parts of me that still are holding on 还有我仍然持有的部分

To moments long since passed, and secrets I recall 要时刻早已过去，和秘密我记得

And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore 和我的朋友曾经有过，我不知道了谁

   

I watch the sky in each new city 我看着天空中的每一个新城市

It's not so different, I see more stars 这不是那么的不同，我看到更多的星星

Now I'm counting clouds to calm my feelings 现在，我指望云平静我的心情

Which tend to race away in the dark 这往往种族消失在黑暗中

   

Though I am far away and I am all alone 虽然离我很远，我独自一人

There are parts of me that still are holding on 还有我仍然持有的部分

I'm on my way home on that train 我在回家的路上上车

Lord, the miles, how they cut me deep 主，里，他们是如何把我深深的

   

Though I am far away and I am all alone 虽然离我很远，我独自一人
