歌词
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
你确信你认识的所有的人都是商人。
who said they were through with dealing
他们说只是完成了一场交易，
Every time you gave them shelter
当每次你给他们提供帮助时。
I know that kind of man

It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
握住他们的手是困难的，
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
因为他们举起手只是为了投降，
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
因为他们做任何事都是有目的的。
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
然后你打扫他们留下的东西，
you find he did not leave you very much
你觉得他们似乎并没有离开你，
not even laughter
欢声笑语还萦绕耳际。
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
就像庄家盯着牌，
that is so high and wild
是如此自信和狂热。
he'll never need to deal another
他不需要别的生意，
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
他只是一个寻找经理的约瑟夫，
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.
他只是一个寻求别人帮助的懒人。
And then leaning on your window sill
他停靠在你的窗台上，
he'll say one day you caused his will
他说起你的爱与温暖，还有你的帮助，
to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
这些让他变得更懦弱。
And then taking from his wallet
然后他从他的钱包里
an old schedule of trains,he'll say

I told you when I came I was a stranger.

But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams
但是现在另一个陌生人似乎想要你忽略他的梦，
as though they were the burden of some other

O you've seen that man before
哦，你曾经见过这个人，
his golden arm dispatching cards
他用金子打造的手臂发牌，
but now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger

And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter

You hate to watch another tired man

lay down his hand

like he was giving up the holy game of poker

And while he talks his dreams to sleep

you notice there's a highway
你发现这里有一条高速公路，
that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder
像烟雾一样在他的肩膀环绕，
It's curling up like smoke above his shoulder.

You tell him to come in sit down

but something makes you turn around

The door is open you can't close you shelter

You try the handle of the road
你尝试着去处理这条路，
It opens do not be afraid
