"The world moves on and leaves a tear".
|
"Warmth, dazzle are gone".
|
"It gives you conflict of emotions".
|
Dragged wailing into existence by the unnatural
|
and largely hopeless act of rendering Chinese
|
poetry into English, they ended up here!
|
|
Cold, cold as a crystal, the world moves on and leaves a tear
|
We both used to see the same thing when we closed our eyes in loving
|
I'd like to believe there's more wine in that glass
|
But a shiver in the night says
|
"Cut your losses
|
Cut your losses - oh run"
|
|
chorus:
|
Warmth, dazzle are gone
|
Gone from the sun as the year moves on
|
Warmth, dazzle are gone
|
Gone from the sun as the year moves on
|
Oh! dazzle, it's got no place in my life anymore
|
Loud in the deep night
|
The cold,
|
The cold cracks like a whip - like a whip
|
|
Idle dreams of the far away, they got you in the lead still.
|
I taste doubt on my lips now,
|
Don't know if you're stayin', goin'
|
Fresh paint on the landscape
|
I really don't know what to think
|
bout our love
|
Cold misty rain in tangled threads falls on me
|
chorus:
|
|
A dream can be all that’s free sometimes,
|
I know the feelin’ well.
|
A dream got a grip like winter,
|
Hold you back from all your dealings.
|
Set your eyes on a distance, pin a heart on your sleeve.
|
Give you conflict,
|
Give you a conflict of emotions
|
And you can’t break away
|
|
chorus:
