Eternal Circle
I sang the song slowly
As she stood in the shadows
She stepped to the light
As my silver strings spun
She called with her eyes
To the tune I’s a-playin’
But the song it was long
And I’d only begun
Through a bullet of light
Her face was reflectin’
The fast fading words
That rolled from my tongue
With a long-distance look
Her eyes was on fire
But the song it was long
And there was more to be sung
My eyes danced a circle
Across her clear outline
With her head tilted sideways
She called me again
As the tune drifted out
She breathed hard through the echo
But the song it was long
And it was far to the end
I glanced at my guitar
And played it pretendin’
That of all the eyes out there
I could see none
As her thoughts pounded hard
Like the pierce of an arrow
But the song it was long
And it had to get done
As the tune finally folded
I laid down the guitar
Then looked for the girl
Who’d stayed for so long
But her shadow was missin’
For all of my searchin’
So I picked up my guitar
And began the next song
永恒的循环
我缓缓唱着那首歌
她站在阴影里
等她移步光亮处
我银色的琴弦响起
她用眼睛呼唤
应和着我弹奏的曲调
但那首歌很长
我只是才开始
穿过光的弹雨
她的脸反射着
从我的舌尖滚过的
快速黯淡的词语
远远看去
她的眼睛燃起了火
但那首歌很长
有更多还没唱
我的目光舞成一个圆
围绕着她清晰的身影
她的头侧向一边
将我再一次呼唤
当旋律飘出
穿越回声她呼吸急促
但那首歌很长
距唱完还很远
我扫了一眼吉他
然后弹奏着,假装
台下的所有眼睛
我都没看见
当她的思绪重重袭来
仿佛飞箭射入
但那首歌很长
必须把它唱完
全曲终于告终
我放下吉他
然后寻找着
待了很久的那女孩
但寻寻觅觅
不见伊人身影
所以我拿起吉他
开始下一首歌
