【影音】Passing Afternoon - Iron & Wine @ 問，清風何處去

Passing Afternoon - Iron & Wine

這是《House.M.D》第四季最後一集時所聽到的歌。

這首曲子和最後一集所要表達的情感實在太過貼近，讓我不禁想落淚。

Passing Afternoon - Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days

There are times that walk from you
有些時光從身邊流逝
like some passing afternoon
方佛逝去的午後
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
夏日溫暖了她蜜月的窗
And she chose a yard to burn
她在院落焚燒落葉
but the ground remembers her
土地記住了她
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
秋天吹落床上她疊好的棉被
And she's chosen to believe
她開始相信
in the hymns her mother sings
她母親哼唱的讚美詩
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves
星期日在落葉堆中拉起孩子

There are sailing ships that pass
帆船駛過
all our bodies in the grass
穿過青草地裡我們的身體
Springtime calls her children 'till she let's them go at last
春天呼喚她的孩子她終於放手讓他們走
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
她決定留在那裡雖然她遺落了她的結婚戒指
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds
就安放在九重葛花籽瓶的附近

There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
有些事怎麼都想不起來好像黑夜終會將我們吞沒
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
冬天藏起了她的孩子她易碎的瓷娃娃
But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns
我的雙手記住了她
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
裸露的手臂，她的秘密依舊是我從未聽過的歌謠
There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
只有現在我才真的相信，那些遠隔重洋的名字的存在
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me
在合上窗戶的時候，有時，她會坐下來想起我
But she'll mend his tattered clothes
她還會幫他縫補破衣裳
and they'll kiss as if they know
他們還會親吻似乎他們知道
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone
我們的骨骼裡都睡著一個嬰孩如此害怕孤單
