Ghost of His Smile

The Ghost of His Smile


he don't get out much
these days
but i wouldn't call him
lazy

he sees the dawn sneak
into the room
and knows the dogs will
be up soon

and we thought that he was doing alright
as the sun chased down another night

and days careen
like the waters
of a river rushing
to the sea

here she comes again
down the staircase
she never passes without
saying hello

and we thought that he was doing alright
and she says hello

i can't forget the ghost
i can't forget the ghost
i can't forget the ghost
of his smile

dogs will wag their tails
and birds will sing
hell it's hard world
for little things

and we thought that he was doing alright

i can't forget the ghost
i can't forget the ghost
i can't forget the ghost
of his smile


魅笑


他有些日子没出门了
我并不认为他懒惰
他看见黎明溜进房间
狗狗也就快起来了

我们以为他一切不错
就像每晚太阳被逐落

岁月倾斜前进
像水波
随湍急的河
涌向大海

她又来了
走下楼梯
每次路过
她从不忘说声哈啰

我们以为他一切不错
就像每晚太阳被逐落

难以忘记
他那一丝魅笑
难以忘记
他那一丝魅笑

狗狗会摇尾巴
鸟儿会歌唱
见鬼，这坚硬的世界
充满纤细微尘

我们以为他一切不错

难以忘记
他那一丝魅笑
难以忘记
他那一丝魅笑
