| 作词 : | |
| I told them how my wife had fallen into sickness and to calling out her | |
| name with questions on her tongue. We had always been so happy that at | |
| first I wasn't sad because I thought my love could keep her strong. But I | |
| never thought so wrongly for the fever fought too strongly and it seemed | |
| she never fought at all. Soon she died, and I despaired upon the love seat | |
| we had shared so many times on pleasant afternoons. I tried and tried to | |
| understand why love itself could not command my true love fromhe comas of | |
| her mind. Now, empty, open and foreboding, stretching out like darkened | |
| clothing somehow stained with silence and with fear. Death had brought its | |
| separation, giving me an education of a dull and slowly drifting day. I | |
| filled my emptiness with sorrow, taking what I could not borrow fromhe | |
| friends I finally drove away. "Yes, my life was nearly ruined, till I saw | |
| what you were doing. Now I strive to keep on serving you. Life is good but | |
| I am better, for I feel at last I let her go because I finally found the | |
| truth. Sadly now, I see the answer. All her life she was a dancer, but no | |
| one ever played the song she knew." |
