听歌学英语:再见，无缘的爱人 Almost Lover

来自美国的年轻女孩A Fine Frenzy¹在7月份发行了自己的第一盘专辑，整盘专辑顺畅的表达了A Fine Frenzy特有的那股忧郁和伤感。看了A Fine Frenzy详细的资料，并没有发现她的成长中有过太大的苦难，但是她却把忧伤演绎的这样优美和完整；当你孤单受伤或夜晚思念的时候不妨来听听她的浅唱低吟，也许你会找到许多的共鸣，让那颗受过伤的心灵找到一丝安慰；其实她的音乐本身没有太多值得称赞的亮点，但戴上耳机听着A Fine Frenzy的音乐，自己却变的非常安静。

Your fingertips against my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
in my chase Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartbreak
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Image
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot try the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gonna and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did i make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
