Love used to be the ruler

爱曾是规矩绳墨

From which you measured all

你使它丈量人间

Love used to be the dizzying height

爱曾是晕眩之高

From which you wished to fall

你愿就此处坠落

Love used to be the white and gauzy apparition

爱曾是幻影 洁白无瑕 薄如蝉翼

Towering in your dreams

在你梦里筑起高楼

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be the horseshoe made of iron

爱曾是马蹄铁

And always smiling up

向来莞尔

And in your arms it gathered

在你臂弯里 聚到一起的

All manner of silky satin golden luck

是丝缎之流 万福之姿

Love used to be the pyramid and on top

爱曾是金字塔

It's eye that always sees

顶端有眼 万事昭然在目

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be

爱曾是

掘地六尺

Inside my chest

隐匿胸腔

Heart like a gravestone

心如碑石

Lay it down to rest

葬此安眠

Goodbye love

永别了 我的爱

Amen

阿门

Love used to be a sigh like petals

爱曾是花瓣般的叹息

Gently falling down

温柔落下

From the flower of my lover's

从我爱

Half open rosebud mouth

半合朱唇的花朵上

Love used to be the thirst oh and the quenching

爱曾是满身饥渴 又曾是如愿以偿

The question in no need of answering

是无需回的问

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be hope unflinching

爱曾是一往无前的希冀

The dare that believed it must

是深信如此的勇气

Love used to be the heady drunken feeling of

爱曾是酣醉的兴致

Flesh heavy with lust

来自欲望深沉的躯体

Love used to be the photograph of the future

爱曾是蓝图

Taken by one mind four eyes could see

一心相伴 彼此可见

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be

爱曾是

掘地六尺

Inside my chest

隐匿胸腔

Heart like a gravestone

心如碑石

Lay it down to rest

葬此安眠

Goodbye love

永别了 我的爱

Amen

阿门

Love used to be a miracle

爱曾是奇迹

The proof that God exists

是上帝存在的信证

As it doubled our image immortality delivered

长存天马行空的想象

By the double helix

沿着双螺旋往上

Love used to be the bedrock you built a life upon

爱曾是根基 你在此筑造生活

Into the future reaching

极目前方

It used to be what woke you each day

它曾是 每日叫醒你的

And eased me into sleeping

安抚你入睡的

Love used to be my compass

爱曾是我的罗盘

But now I'm alone and I'm adrift and I'm lost at sea

但如今 飘零在这海上 迷不知路 孤身难返

Cause love used to be

只因为爱曾是

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be

爱曾是

Love used to be

爱曾是
