Ducky House

There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!

And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

曾經, 人們都很和善

他們的語氣如此輕柔

他們的話如此親切

曾經,愛是盲目的

世界有如一首歌

而這首歌如此令人振奮

它曾經如此,然後一切開始變調了…

我夢到往日的一個夢

那時充滿希望,生命擁有價值

我曾夢到愛從未凋零

我夢到上帝是寬容的,

當時我仍年輕無懼,

我浪擲夢想

無須付出任何代價

無歌不唱, 無酒不嚐

然而老虎卻在夜裡

帶著他們低沉如雷的聲音到來

他們將你的希望撕裂,

他們讓你的夢想幻滅

他陪了我一整個夏季,

用無盡的驚喜充滿了我的生活

他輕易地豐富我年輕的時光

但在秋天降臨時他卻離去了

我仍夢想他會回到我身邊

然後我們會廝守在一起

但那是無法實現的夢想

那是我們無法熬過的暴風雨

我曾夢想著我的人生

完全不像我現在地獄般的生活

現在完全不像我曾經想像的

如今這現實生活已經扼殺我昔日的夢想

And now I'm all alone again,
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend,
Without a face to say hello to.
And now the night is near,
Now I can make believe he's here.

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him, and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping.
The city goes to bed,
And I can live inside my head.

On my own,
Pretending he's beside me.
All alone,
I walk with him till morning.
Without him,
I feel his arms around me,
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me.

In the rain,
The pavement shines like silver.
All the lights
Are misty in the river.
In the darkness,
The trees are full of starlight,
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever.

And I know
It's only in my mind,
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him.
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say,
There's a way for us.

I love him,
But when the night is over,
He is gone,
The river's just a river.
Without him,
The world around me changes.
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers.

I love him,
But every day I'm learning,
All my life,
I've only been pretending!
Without me,
His world will go on turning,
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known!

I love him...
I love him...
I love him...
But only on my own...

此刻,我又是獨自一人,

無處可去,無人可訴

沒有家,也沒有朋友

沒有可以寒暄的對象

現在,夜晚降臨

我才可假裝他還在身邊

有時我獨自在夜裡行走

當所有人都已入眠

思念著他使我感到幸福

有他的陪伴

只個城市沉沉睡去

我則活在自己的幻想當中

獨自一人地

假裝他就在我身邊,

我孤獨地

想像與他散步到清晨

他並不存在

但我感覺得到他雙手環住我

當我迷失自己時,我閉上雙眼

想像他尋獲了我

在雨中

柏油路面閃耀著銀光

河面上,

有著迷濛的光亮

黑暗中,

星光佈滿樹梢

我只見我倆相伴到永遠

然而我知道,

這一切只是想像

我只不過是自言自語

雖然我知道他的雙眼已被蒙蔽

我仍相信

我倆仍有未來

我愛他

但當夜已結束

他離去後

河也只是平凡的河流

失去他

我的世界也因此改變

樹木皆已乾枯

街上充斥著陌生的人們

我愛他

但我也逐漸明白

此生

我不過是在欺騙自己

沒有我

他的世界仍然轉動不息

一個我永遠無法感受的幸福世界

我愛他

我愛他

我愛他

卻只是我的一廂情願
