Same old lang syne Dan Fogelberg
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another old lang syne'...
The beer was empty
And our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain--- 昔日情景丹佛格柏
在杂货店里遇见了旧情人
雪正下着，那是圣诞节前夕
在冷冻食品区，我偷偷绕到她身后
然后碰了一下她的袖子
起初她并没有认出我来
然后她张大了眼睛
给我一个拥抱，皮包掉到地上
我们就这样笑到流泪
我们一起把她买的东西拿到柜台结帐
所有的食物都已装袋妥当
我们站在那儿有些困窘
讲起话来断断续续的
我们想去喝几杯
却找不到一家有营业的酒吧
于是到店里买了六罐装的啤酒
在她的车子里喝了起来
我们为纯真干杯
为此刻干杯
我们试着超越这份空虚
却无能为力
她说她嫁给一个建筑师
让她的生活饱暖无虞
她很想说她爱这个男人
但又不想说谎
我说岁月很宽待她
她的眼睛碧蓝如昔
但我不确定从她眼里看到的
是疑惑还是感激
她说她在唱片行里看到了我（的专辑）
说我现在一定过得很好
我说歌迷使你如置身天堂
但旅行演唱的日子却仿若地狱
我们为纯真干杯
为时光干杯
再次施展我们的口才
那是另一幅昔日情景----
啤酒罐已空
唇舌也累了
再无话题可聊
我下车时，她给了我一个吻
我目送着她开车离去
剎那间我仿佛回到了校园
感觉到那熟悉的痛楚
当我转身准备回去时
雪，竟转变成了雨----- |
