《Song for Adam》歌词

时长： 04:50

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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