Lyrics: (歌词):

Down in the mountains they know me
山中的人们认识我
and they hold me in my dreams
我在梦里和他们热泪相拥

Down in the mountains they remember me
山中的人们记得
young and free full of dreams.
那个曾经年轻自由充满梦想的我

She waits for me every day and night
她等我，不管白天黑夜
In her dress of white, faded and torn.
穿着那件破旧褪色的白裙

Thinks that someday I’ll walk through that gate
她期盼着有一天我会跨进那道门
Oh but its growin’ late.
但她的日子已所剩不多

Thinks that someday I’ll come back home
她期盼着有一天我能回家
Oh so she carries on
就这样春去秋来，一载又一载

I died at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
so long ago
已经很久
Never come home
再不能踏上回家路

I died at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
so long ago
已经很久
Never come home
再不能踏上回家路

I drowned at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
so long ago
已经很久
Never come home
再不能踏上回家路

I drowned at sea
我消失于人海
so long ago
已经很久
Lord I wanted to come home
啊苍天，我多想回家

She waits
她在等
and she waits for me
她在等我
and she’s fading
绝望一点点将她蚕食
