Oklahoma Billy Gilman
Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't want to go
He thought he'd found his home
But with circumstances he can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away from the life he's known
For the last seven months or so
She said
"We found the man who looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there had he known it
Son, we think we found your dad in Oklahoma"
A million thoughts raced through his mind
What's his name, what's he like
And will be anything like the man in his dreams
She could see the questions in his eyes
Whispered "Don't be scared, my child
I'll let you know what we know...."
"About the man we found, he looks like you
And cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would've been there had he known it
You always said that this was something that you wanted
Son, it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma"
One last turn he held his breath
'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
And all at once the tears came rolling in
And as they pulled into the drive
A man was waiting there outside
Who wiped the worry from his eyes
Smiled and took his hand
And he said
"I'm the man who looks like you
Who cried because I never knew
About that boy in pictures that they showed me
A rambler in my younger days
I knew I made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son, welcome to your home in Oklahoma" 俄克拉荷马州 比利吉尔曼
所有行李都已打包好在皮箱里
汽车已停好，门铃响起
他却不想走
他以为已经找到了一个家
但这是他无法改变的环境
当他们将他拖离熟悉的生活，只有挥手道别
为这最后七个月的时光
她说：
「我们找到了一个和你很像的男子
他哭着说他一无所悉
关于我们给他看的相片中的男孩
他年轻时喜欢游荡
也明白自己犯了一些错误
他还发誓说如果他知道事实的话一定会赶过去
孩子，我想我们已经在俄克拉荷马找到你爸爸了」
千头万绪涌上他的心头
他叫什么名字？是个什么样的人？
会像梦里出现的那个男人吗？
她看出了他眼里的疑虑
轻声道：「别怕，孩子
我会告诉你我们所知道的........」
「我们找到的这个男子，他和你很像
他哭着说他一无所悉
关于我们给他看的相片中的男孩
他年轻时喜欢游荡
也清楚自己犯了一些错误
他还发誓说如果他知道事实的话一定会赶过去
过去你总是说这才是你所盼望的
孩子，是该到俄克拉荷马见你爸爸的时候了」
最后一次转弯时，他摒住呼吸
直到来到左边第五栋房子前面
剎那间，他泪流满面
当他们停好车子
一位男子已在外面等候
抹去了他眼底的忧虑
并且微笑着牵起他的手........
男人道：
「我就是那个和你很像的男子
我哭，是因为我一无所悉
关于他们给我看的相片中的男孩
我年轻时喜欢游荡
也知道自己犯了一些错误
但我发誓：如果我知道事实的话一定会赶过去
你不会再是孤零零的
孩子，欢迎你来到俄克拉荷马的家！」 |
