Sally說pigeons

When I was eight I had a friend
我八歲時有個朋友
With a pirate smile
有著海盜般的笑容
Make believe and play pretend
我們裝腔作勢
We were innocent and wild
無憂無慮，恣意狂野
Hopped a fence and slammed the gate
我們跨躍柵欄，猛摔房門
Running down my alleyway
衝過小巷
In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly
趕去看薩麗的鴿子飛翔

我們痴痴地看著鴿群俯衝高飛
We loved to watch them dive and soar
在天空盤旋
Circle in the sky
從三點到四點我們就像自由的鳥兒
Free as a bird from three to four
從不知為什麼
And never knowing why
鄰居們收完洗好的衣物回家
Neighbors pulled their wash back in
我收好芭比娃娃和她的男朋友肯
Put away my Barbie and Ken
抬頭仰望
Look out overhead
薩麗的鴿子飛翔
While Sally's pigeons fly
我像傻瓜一樣堅信

世界沒有邊界
I had a fool's confidence
然而直覺和常識
That the world had no boundaries
不一樣地襲來
But instincts and common sense
我的心開始
Come in different quantities
悄悄地

為隔壁的男孩而跳動
My heart began to
她的眼光
Skip to the beat
追隨著街對面害羞的高個子
Of the boy next door
我們實現著各自的夢想
She had her eye across the street
挑戰命運
On someone shy and tall
直到有天她含淚告訴我她'老朋友沒來'
We lived our dreams
薩麗放飛了她的鴿子......
And challenged fate
現在梳妝台上放著一個相框
In tears she told me she was late
照片上
And Sally let his pigeons out to fly...
兩個小女孩扎著馬尾

那是二十多年前
On the dresser sits a frame
一天晚上她只點了下頭就出去了
With a photograph
結果在某個黑診所送了命
Two little girls in ponytails
我閉上眼睛，薩麗的鴿子在飛翔
Some twenty one years back
她再也見不到那些鳥兒了
She left one night with just a nod
而我，每當看到一個海盜般的笑容
Was lost from some back alley job
總忍不住淚流滿面
I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly
我閉上眼睛
She never saw those birds again
薩麗的鴿子還在飛翔
And me, I can't remember when
A pirate smile hasn't made me cry
I close my eyes
And Sally's pigeons fly...
