《Summer Dress 》

On a one-way street going east to west
一条东西向单行的街道上
She's walking home in a summer dress
她身着夏日盛装，沿路回家
And the buildings fall behind her feet
沿边房屋逐渐消失在脚步之后
In a summer dress on a one-way street
单行的街道上身着夏日盛装
In a crowded room with a cigarette
拥挤的房间中点燃一支香烟
She's dancing slow in a summer dress
夏日盛装，翩翩起舞

And the boys all know she wll be leaving soon
少年们都应知道，她就要离开了
In a summer dress from a crowded room
穿着这夏日的盛装，离开这拥挤的房间
And it's a long way down to the living
这是一条漫长的生活之路
From up there on the cross
从十字架的最上面
It's a long way down to the living
这事一条漫长的生活之路
So the people wait in their Sunday best
人们等待着他们最好的礼拜日
But where is the girl in the summer dress?
可是这个女孩的夏日盛装哪里去了呢？
Just pray for light on her soul
只好祈求光充满她的灵魂
In a summer dress and the winter cold
充满夏日的盛装和冬日的寒冷
And it's a long way down to the living
这是一条漫长的生活之路
From up there on the cross
从十字架的最上面
It's a long way down to the living
这是一条漫长的生活之路
