歌词
When I was eight I had a friend
我在八岁时结识了一位朋友
With a pirate smile
她有着海盗般的笑容
Make believe and play pretend
我们经常玩过家家的游戏
We were innocent and wild
那时的我们天真无邪 无忧无虑
Hopped a fence and slammed the gate
我们用力关上门越过门前的篱笆
Running down my alleyway
沿着巷子一路奔跑
In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly
赶去看萨莉的鸽子在空中飞翔
我们喜欢看鸽群呈现不同的飞姿
We loved to watch them dive and soar
在空中盘旋转圈
Circle in the sky
每天下午三点到四点 我们就像鸟儿一样无拘无束
Free as a bird from three to four
却不知这是为什么
And never knowing why
邻居们收拾完晒洗的衣物赶回家
Neighbors pulled their wash back in
我带走了我的芭比娃娃和芭比肯
Put away my Barbie and Ken
当我仰望天空时
Look out overhead
我看到萨莉的鸽子在空中飞翔
While Sally's pigeons fly
我曾像傻瓜一样相信
这个世界没有边界
I had a fool's confidence
但是直觉与常识
That the world had no boundaries
向我迅速大量的涌现出来
But instincts and common sense
我的心开始
Come in different quantities
向隔壁家的男孩
而跳动
My heart began to
萨莉看上了街对面
Skip to the beat
那位腼腆的高个子男孩
Of the boy next door
我们为实现各自的梦想而努力
She had her eye across the street
迎接命运带给我们的挑战
On someone shy and tall
但是有一次萨莉哭着告诉我她怀孕了
We lived our dreams
萨莉放飞了她的鸽子
And challenged fate
我的梳妆台上
In tears she told me she was late
放着一张带相框的旧照片
And Sally let his pigeons out to fly...
照片上是我和萨莉扎着马尾辫
大约在二十一年前的一个晚上
On the dresser sits a frame
萨莉向我点头离去
With a photograph
却在一家黑诊所里送了命
Two little girls in ponytails
我闭上双眼看到萨莉的鸽子在空中飞翔
Some twenty one years back
然而她再也看不到这些鸽子了
She left one night with just a nod
而我已经记不清那是什么时候的事情了
Was lost from some back alley job
这位有着海盗般笑容的朋友还从未让我伤心哭泣过
I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly
我闭上双眼
She never saw those birds again
看到萨莉的鸽子在空中飞翔
And me, I can't remember when
A pirate smile hasn't made me cry
I close my eyes
And Sally's pigeons fly...
