《Song for Adam》歌词

[00:00:19] Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well

[00:00:25] He was alone into his distance

[00:00:27] He was deep into his well

[00:00:32] I could guess what he was laughing at, but I couldn't really tell

[00:00:38] Now the story's told that Adam jumped, but I've been thinking that he fell

[00:00:49] Together we went traveling, as we received the call

[00:00:55] His destination India, and I had none at all

[00:01:02] Well, I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall

[00:01:08] So free of fear, we never thought that one of us might fall

[00:01:16] I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way

[00:01:27] Now this story unfolds before my candle

[00:01:33] Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day

[00:01:39] But I feel just like a candle in the way

[00:01:44] I guess I'll get there, but I wouldn't say for sure

[00:02:03] When we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were said

[00:02:09] And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led

[00:02:16] Except for once in someone else's letter that I read

[00:02:22] Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead

[00:02:31] I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way

[00:02:42] Now this journey appears before my candle

[00:02:48] As a song that's growing fainter the harder that I play

[00:02:54] But I fear before I end I'll fade away

[00:02:59] But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say for sure

[00:03:24] Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long

[00:03:30] And when I stood myself beside him, I never though I was as strong

[00:03:37] Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song

[00:03:43] Well I'm not the one to say I know, but I'm hoping he was wrong

[00:03:52] I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my way

[00:04:02] Now this story's been laid beneath my candle

[00:04:08] And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day

[00:04:14] Yes, I feel just like a candle in the way

[00:04:19] I hope I'll get there, but I never pray
