[00:08.440] | It's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears |
[00:14.910] | Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears |
[00:22.230] | That I was born in north carolina |
[00:26.340] | Not an hour from her home town |
[00:30.010] | And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball |
[00:37.780] | And there's a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is |
[00:45.280] | We've been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives |
[00:52.920] | Where my days are strips of highway |
[00:56.880] | And she's wiping tables down |
[01:00.680] | Holding on and still waiting for that windfall |
[01:08.860] | But I've come home |
[01:16.040] | Even though I've never had so far to go |
[01:23.810] | I've come home |
[01:39.410] | I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill |
[01:44.620] | Head across the street where vacancy is burning in neon still |
[01:51.770] | Well the night eats up my body heat |
[01:55.380] | And there's no sign of another |
[01:58.840] | And I find myself slipping down into that black |
[02:06.490] | But things are good I've got a lot of followers of my faith |
[02:12.610] | I've got a whole congregation living in my head these days |
[02:20.270] | And I'm preaching from the pulpit |
[02:24.600] | To cries of“Amen brother” |
[02:27.630] | Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back |
[02:32.560] | And I've come home |
[02:38.980] | Even though I swear I've never been so alone |
[02:46.960] | I've come home |
[03:02.020] | I just want to be living as I'm dying |
[03:06.420] | Just like everybody here |
[03:09.910] | Just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile |
[03:17.590] | And I don't know where I'm driving to |
[03:21.640] | But I know I'm getting old |
[03:25.210] | And there's a blessing in every moment every mile |
[03:49.040] | Thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups |
[03:56.270] | Old gideons bible in the nightstand drawer saying“Go on open up” |
[04:03.990] | Well I'll kneel down on the carpet here |
[04:08.310] | Though I never was sure of god |
[04:12.260] | Think tonight I'll give him the benefit of the doubt |
[04:20.240] | I switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bed |
[04:27.400] | Her hair falling all around me |
[04:31.750] | I smile and shake my head |
[04:35.190] | Well we all write our own endings |
[04:39.160] | And we all have our own scars |
[04:43.140] | But tonight I think I see what it's all about |
[04:51.050] | Because I've come home |
[05:06.490] | I've come home |

[05:06.490] | I' ve come home |
[00:08.440] | 外面是冰凉的荒漠,但是这个小餐馆已经温暖了我冻僵的耳朵 |
[00:14.910] | 当女服务员听到我出生在北卡罗来纳州的时候, |
[00:22.230] | 她微笑着递过来一杯装在白色马克杯里的热咖啡 |
[00:26.340] | 那里离她的家不过一小时路程 |
[00:30.010] | 我们曾在同一个披萨店玩过弹球 |
[00:37.780] | 时间一下子停滞下来,不知为何 |
[00:45.280] | 我们一下子都被包裹在这样的氛围中,仿佛间回到了那个有郊狼生活的地方 |
[00:52.920] | 在那里我每天都像生活在公路片中一样 |
[00:56.880] | 我 回过神来,她擦了擦桌子 |
[01:00.680] | 站在那里等着我的小费 |
[01:08.860] | 我想我已经到家了 |
[01:16.040] | 哪怕我从来没有这么长的路要走 |
[01:23.810] | 我已经到家了 |
[01:39.410] | 我结了账,并且留下了一张皱巴巴的十元钞票当做小费 |
[01:44.620] | 起身向街上走去,霓虹灯仍在闪烁 |
[01:51.770] | 夜晚一点点蚕食我身体的热量 |
[01:55.380] | 街道上没有其他人的迹象 |
[01:58.840] | 我发现自己正慢慢没入黑暗中 |
[02:06.490] | 但是我已经找到了最美好的东西,有了很多我信仰的追随者 |
[02:12.610] | 这些天他们一直在我脑海中 |
[02:20.270] | 当我在讲台上宣讲时 |
[02:24.600] | 呼喊着“阿门兄弟”时 |
[02:27.630] | 闭上我的眼睛,去感觉这归家的温暖 |
[02:32.560] | 我已经到家了 |
[02:38.980] | 即使我发誓我从来没有那么孤单 |
[02:46.960] | 我已经到家了 |
[03:02.020] | 我只是想像自己正在死去那样生活 |
[03:06.420] | 像所有在这里生活的人一样 |
[03:09.910] | 只是想弄清楚我的,小小的时间的变幻是值得的 |
[03:17.590] | 我不知道我将驶去何方 |
[03:21.640] | 但是我知道我正慢慢变老 |
[03:25.210] | 路途上的每时每刻,每一公里,都有祝福围绕 |
[03:49.040] | 细细的白色毛巾架,小小的塑料杯 |
[03:56.270] | 床头柜上的老圣经,抽屉说:“来吧,打开它!” |
[04:03.990] | 我跪在了地毯上 |
[04:08.310] | 尽管我不曾确定是否有神存在 |
[04:12.260] | 但我想今晚我会去相信他 |
[04:20.240] | 我关上灯,躺在床上开始回忆女服务员的轮廓 |
[04:27.400] | 她的头发围绕着我 |
[04:31.750] | 我笑着摇摇头 |
[04:35.190] | 我想我们都写好了彼此的结局 |
[04:39.160] | 我们都有自己的伤疤 |
[04:43.140] | 但我想今晚我看见了它是什么 |
[04:51.050] | 因为我已经到家了 |
[05:06.490] | 我已经到家了 |
