中秋节英文歌曲：Homesick -- Kings of Convenience

Homesick -- Kings of Convenience

图片1

I'll lose some sales and my boss won't be happy,
but I can't stop listening to the sound
of two soft voices
blended in perfection
from the reels of this record that I've found.
Every day there's a boy in the mirror asking me:
What are you doing here?
Finding all my previous motives¹
growing increasingly unclear.
I've traveled far and I've burned all the bridges
I believed as soon as I hit land
all the other options held before me,
would wither² in the light of my plan.
So I'll lose some sales and my boss won't be happy,
but there's only one thing on my mind
searching boxes underneath³ the counter,
on a chance that on a tape I'd find:
a song for someone who needs somewhere to long for.
Homesick.
Because I no longer know where home is.
-End-
