It's coming on the end of August

八月的日子即将逝去

Another summer's promise almost gone

又一个夏天的约定即将走远

And though I heard some wise man say

尽管我曾听智者说过

That every dog will have his day

每个人都会时来运转

He never mentioned that these dog days get so long

但从未知道这段日子会是这样的漫长

I don't know when I realized the dream was over

我不知道什么时间梦会结束

Well there was no particular hour no given day

当然，没有确切的时间，没有确定的日期

You know it didn't go down in flame

你知道热情不会消失

There was no final scene no frozen frame

没有最后的落幕，没有凝镜

I just watched it slowly fade away

我只能看着它慢慢地消失

And I've been waiting in the weeds

我的心一直在荒芜中等待

Waiting for my time to come around again and

等待我的幸运时刻再次到来

Hope is floating on the breeze

希望在微风中漂浮

Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

带着我的灵魂飞向高处

I've been keeping to myself

我始终坚持让自己相信

Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you

岁月会慢慢将你改变

And though you're with somebody else

尽管你在他的身边

He'll never love you like I do

但我知道他永远不会像我这样爱你

I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows

我邀请乌鸦和麻雀伴我度过这段时间

While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage

而孔雀却在台上昂首表演

If finding love is just a dance

如果寻找爱就像一场舞会

Proximity and chance

接近然后获得机会

You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade

那你要原谅我逃离这舞会

And I've been waiting in the weeds

我的心一直在

Waiting for the dust to settle down

荒芜中等待

Along the Back roads running through the fields

等待着尘埃穿过田野飘落街道

Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town

躺在寂寞城镇的效外

And I imagine sunlight in your hair

想象你发梢的光泽

You're at the county fair

你在乡村的集市上

You're holding hands and laughing

你们双手紧握着欢笑

And now the Ferris wheel has stopped

突然摩天轮停止了转动

You're swinging on the top Suspended there with him

你和他一起悬在高空中摇摆

And he's the darling of the chic

他是漂亮的宠儿

The flavor of the week is melting down your pretty summer dress

短暂的时髦沿着你的夏裙慢慢熔化

Baby what a mess you're making

亲爱的，你看起来是多么的糟糕

I've been stumbling through some dark places

我一直在黑暗中迷失方向

Now I'm following the plow

现在终于沿着犁印艰难前行

I know I've fallen out of your good graces

我知道已经拜倒在你的石榴裙下

It's alright now

现在已经走出黑暗

And I've been waiting in the weeds

我的心一直在荒芜中等待

Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the

等待着如野鸟

Wild birds scattering the seeds

传宗接代般夏雨的进攻

Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune

内心隐秘的情感如月有圆缺般

The phases of the moon

起随着潮汐的起伏

The chambers of the heart

投掷着鹅卵石而形成的

The egg and dart

永恒的乐章

A small gray spider spinning in the dark

一只小灰蜘蛛在黑暗中织着网

In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

尽管这只网已经破碎不堪

And I've been waiting in the weeds

我的心一直在荒芜中等待

Waiting for my time to come around again and

等待我的幸运时刻再次到来

Hope is floating on the breeze

希望在微风中漂浮

Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

带着我的灵魂飞向高处

I've been keeping to myself

我始终坚持让自己相信

Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you

岁月会慢慢将你改变

And though you're with somebody else

尽管你在他的身边

He'll never love you like I do

但我知道他永远不会像我这样爱你
