歌曲歌词
It's been a long, long time since
你的面容初印在我心中
I've memorized your face
已是很久很久以前了
It's been four hours now since
距我漫游在你家
I've wandered through your place
已有四小时过去
And when I sleep on your couch
我卧于你的沙发上
I feel very safe
安全感填满我的心房
And when you bring the blankets
你带来的毛毯
I cover up my face
掩蔽我的脸庞
I do love you
我爱着你
I do love you
我爱着你
And when you play guitar I listen
你的手指
To the strings buzz
拨动着我的心弦 信步于吉他上
The metal vibrates underneath
琴弦的低吟浅唱
Your fingers
凭我静赏
And when you crochet
你穿针引线间
I feel mesmerized and proud
于我眼前编织出如梦似幻的荣光
And don't say 'I love you'
爱意溢于言表
With saying it out loud
却仍不可名状
It's hard so I won't say it at all
让我尚未启齿 便知难而止
And I won't stay very long
你的身边 我不必永留
But you are the life I needed all along
在我心中 已天长地久
I think of you as my brother
尽管那听上去愚不可及
Although that sounds dumb
我还是视你如我的兄弟
And words are futile devices
而花言巧语皆不过无谓与徒劳
