A long time ago came a man on a track
很久以前有个旅人踏上小径
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
背着行囊跋涉三十英里
And he put down his load
他卸下肩上重担
Where he thought it was the best
在这片心仪之地
He made a home in the wilderness
荒野中筑起家园
He built a cabin and a winter store
他建起木屋和越冬粮仓
And he plowed up the ground
在寒湖畔开垦
By the cold lake shore
耕种这片土壤
Your the other travelers
其他旅人纷至沓来
Came walking down the track
沿着铁轨踽踽前行
They never went further no
既未继续向前
They never went back
也不曾折返归途
Then came the churches
随后教堂拔地而起
Then came the schools
接着学堂林立
Then came the lawyers
而后律师接踵而至
And then came the rules
条条框框便应运而生
Then came the trains
后来火车轰鸣而至
And the trucks with their loads
满载货物的卡车接踵而来
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
那条泥泞的老路就是电报路
Then came the mines
随后矿井林立
Then came the ore
矿石堆积如山
Then there was the hard times
艰难岁月接踵而至
Then there was a war
战火硝烟弥漫
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
电报路吟唱着外面世界的歌谣
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
电报路变得如此深邃宽广
Like a rolling river
如奔涌的江河绵延不绝
My radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
收音机预报今夜寒潮将至
People driving home from the factories
下班的工人驱车返家
There's here come six lanes of traffic
六车道此刻车流汇聚
Three lanes moving slow
三车道缓慢如凝
I used to like to go to work
我曾热爱奔赴工作岗位
But they shut it down
而今工厂已大门紧锁
I've got a right to go to work
我有权去工作谋生
No work here to be found
却无处可寻生计
Yes and they say we're gonna have to
他们说我们终将偿还
Pay what's owed
欠下的债
We're gonna have to reap
我们终将收获
From some seed that's been sowed
种下的因果
When are the birds up on the wires
何时电线与电报杆上
And the telegraph poles
能再栖满飞鸟
They can always fly away
他们总能展翅高飞
From this rain and this cold
逃离这凄风冷雨
And you can hear them
你仍能听见他们
Singing out their telegraph code
唱着电报密码的歌谣
All the way down the telegraph road
沿着电报路一路远去
You know I'd sooner forget
多想就此遗忘
But I remember those nights
却难忘那些夜晚
Yeah life was just a bet on a race
那时人生不过是场赌注
Between the lights
在霓虹闪烁之间
You had your head on my shoulder
你曾轻靠我肩头
Had your hand in my hair
指尖缠绕我发梢
Now you act a little colder
如今却疏离如霜
Like you don't seem to care
仿佛已漠不关心
But it just believe in me baby
但请相信我吧亲爱的
And I'll take you away
我将带你远走高飞
From the get you out of this darkness
逃离这无尽黑暗
And into the day
白昼降临
From these rivers of headlights
车灯汇成的长河奔涌
From these rivers of rain
雨水交织的洪流倾泻
From the anger that lives
愤怒在街头巷尾滋长
On the streets with these names
烙印在这些路名之上
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
我曾闯过记忆巷的每个红灯
I've seen desperation explode into flames
目睹绝望迸发成烈焰
And I don't want to see it again
再也不愿重见这般景象
From all of these signs saying
这些告示牌都在诉说
Sorry but we're closed
抱歉 我们已停业
All the way
一路延伸
Down the telegraph road
沿着电报路的方向
