O Blue come in

我离开圣玛丽医院，在一家商店广告前驻足
I caught myself looking at shoes in a shop window.
我想进去买一双鞋，但我沒有

The shoes I am wearing at the moment
足以陪我走完剩下的生命之路
should be sufficient to walk me out of life.

我们躺着
We lie there
翻滚的巨浪拍打在身上
Fanned by the billowing
被遗忘的船只的帆，在哀怨的风中摇晃着
Sails of forgotten ships tossed by the mournful winds
失落的男孩，永远沉睡
Of the deep lost Boys sleep forever
