[00:16.98] He opens his eyes
[00:18.60] Falls in love at first sight
[00:20.60] With the girl in the doorway
[00:23.23]
[00:24.98] What beautiful lines
[00:25.79]
[00:26.91] Heart full of life
[00:27.91]
[00:28.54] After thousands of years
[00:29.73]
[00:30.54] what a face to wake up to
[00:32.67] He holds back a sigh
[00:34.35] As she touches his arm
[00:35.54]
[00:36.48] She dusts off the bed where til now he's been sleeping
[00:39.98]
[00:40.54] Under mires of stone
[00:41.85]
[00:42.42] The dry fig of his heart
[00:44.24] Under scarab and bone
[00:45.49]
[00:46.31] Starts back to its beating
[00:48.31] She carries him home
[00:57.93]
[00:58.81] In a beautiful boat
[00:59.87]
[01:00.93] He watches the sea from a porthole in stowage
[01:04.68] He can hear all she says
[01:06.57] As she sits by his bed
[01:08.32] And one day his lips answered her
[01:10.69] In her own language
[01:12.32] The days quickly pass
[01:13.57]
[01:14.26] He loves making her laugh
[01:15.44]
[01:16.32] The first time he moves it's her hair that he touches
[01:20.07] She asks "Are you cursed?"
[01:21.44] He says "I think that I'm cured."
[01:24.01] Then he talks of the Nile and the girls in bulrushes
[01:27.82]
[01:44.70] In New York he is laid
[01:46.07]
[01:46.63] In a glass covered case
[01:47.76]
[01:48.63] He pretends he is dead
[01:50.01]
[01:50.51] People crowd round to see him
[01:52.45] But at night she comes round
[01:54.14] And the two wander down the halls of the tomb
[01:57.57]
[01:58.26] That she calls a museum
[01:59.70]
[02:00.32] But he stops to rest
[02:01.95] Then less and less
[02:03.26]
[02:03.95] Then it's her that looks tired
[02:05.95] Staying up asking questions
[02:07.14]
[02:07.76] He learns how to read
[02:09.76] From the papers that she is writing about him
[02:13.01]
[02:13.83] Then he makes corrections
[02:15.01]
[02:15.64] It's his face on her book
[02:17.70] More come to look
[02:18.83]
[02:19.89] Families from Iowa
[02:20.95]
[02:21.76] Upper West-Siders
[02:22.76]
[02:23.89] Then one day it's too much
[02:25.83] He decides to get up
[02:27.58] Then as chaos ensues he walks outside to find her
[02:31.45] She is using a cane
[02:32.83]
[02:34.01] And her face looks too pale
[02:35.95] But she's happy to see him
[02:37.77] As they walk he supports her
[02:39.52] She asks "Are you cursed?"
[02:41.58] But his answer is obscured
[02:43.02]
[02:43.64] In a sandstorm of flashbulbs
[02:45.64] Rowdy reporters
[02:47.14]
[03:21.08] Such reanimation
[03:22.21]
[03:22.90] The two tour the nation
[03:24.77] He gets out of limos
[03:26.59] Meets other women
[03:27.84]
[03:28.77] He speaks of her fondly
[03:29.96]
[03:30.52] Their nights in the museum
[03:31.71]
[03:32.34] She's just one more rag now he's dragging behind him
[03:36.65] She stops going out
[03:37.65]
[03:38.27] She just lies there in bed
[03:40.27] In hotels in whatever towns they are speaking
[03:43.40]
[03:44.40] Then her face starts to set
[03:46.02]
[03:46.59] And her hands start to fold
[03:48.27] Then one day the dry fig of her heart stops its beating
[03:52.21]
[04:10.51] Long ago on the ship
[04:12.39] She asked why pyramids
[04:13.70]
[04:14.70] He said "Think of them as an immense invitation."
[04:18.08]
[04:18.70] She asks "Are you cursed?"
[04:20.14] He says "I think that I'm cured."
[04:22.26]
[04:22.89] Then he kissed her and hoped
[04:24.45]
[04:25.08] That she'd forget that question
[00:16.98] 他睁开双眼
[00:18.60] 与站在门口的女孩
[00:20.60] 一见钟情
[00:24.98] 她身姿曼妙
[00:26.91] 活泼灵动
[00:28.54] 如隔千年
[00:30.54] 如梦初醒
[00:32.67] 他屏住呼吸
[00:34.35] 她轻轻触碰他的手臂
[00:36.48] 为他拂去床上的尘土 此刻他已安然入睡
[00:40.54] 深埋在砂石泥淖
[00:42.42] 与血肉骨骼下
[00:44.24] 他心中那枯萎的枝桠
[00:46.31] 终于复苏醒来
[00:48.31] 她轻轻划着小船
[00:58.81] 带他回家
[01:00.93] 透过舷窗他凝视着海面
[01:04.68] 她坐在床沿静静诉说
[01:06.57] 他悉数倾听
[01:08.32] 一天他终于用她的语言
[01:10.69] 回应了她
[01:12.32] 日子如行云流水
[01:14.26] 他习惯了逗她笑
[01:16.32] 指尖缠绕着她的发丝 他第一次尝到心动的滋味
[01:20.07] 她问 你被诅咒过吧
[01:21.44] 他答 我想我已被治愈
[01:24.01] 然后他谈起尼罗河畔身穿灯芯草裙的女孩
[01:44.70] 在纽约 他被人们放进棺盒
[01:46.63] 以玻璃覆盖
[01:48.63] 他佯装死去
[01:50.51] 人们蜂拥而至 为他送别
[01:52.45] 但当夜晚降临 她翩然而至
[01:54.14] 两人漫步在墓区的礼堂中
[01:58.26] 她称其为博物馆
[02:00.32] 而他停下脚休憩
[02:01.95] 不愿再走动
[02:03.95] 渐渐她也感到疲惫
[02:05.95] 仍撑着睡意问他的境况
[02:07.76] 用她留下的关于他的文字
[02:09.76] 他逐渐学会了阅读
[02:13.83] 并润色修改
[02:15.64] 她将他写进书里
[02:17.70] 人们往来
[02:19.89] 缅怀哀悼
[02:21.76] 他们曾居西区的亲人
[02:23.89] 终于有天他不能再忍耐
[02:25.83] 决定起身 离开墓地
[02:27.58] 抛开接踵而来的混乱喧嚣 毅然去找寻她
[02:31.45] 她已全靠手杖支撑
[02:34.01] 尽管脸色苍白无力
[02:35.95] 却难掩见他的欣喜
[02:37.77] 他轻扶着她 并肩行走
[02:39.52] 她又问起 你是否受到了诅咒
[02:41.58] 而他避讳不言
[02:43.64] 沙暴一样猛烈的闪光灯群
[02:45.64] 以及喧闹的记者
[03:21.08] 争相报道这起死回生的怪谈
[03:22.90] 于是二人四处漂泊
[03:24.77] 途中他会走下车
[03:26.59] 与其他女人交谈
[03:28.77] 然后满怀深情地谈起她
[03:30.52] 和他们在“博物馆”里度过的那些夜晚
[03:32.34] 现在的她仿佛是他新的羁绊
[03:36.65] 她不再出门
[03:38.27] 只是躺在床上
[03:40.27] 在人们茶余饭后谈起的每个镇上的旅馆里
[03:44.40] 渐渐她容颜不再
[03:46.59] 褶皱也爬满双手
[03:48.27] 后来有一天她的心脏停止了跳动 枝桠枯萎
[04:10.51] 在很久很久以前的那只船上
[04:12.39] 她问起金字塔的秘密
[04:14.70] 他说 其实金字塔是来自神灵的邀请
[04:18.70] 她问道 你被诅咒过吧
[04:20.14] 他答道 我想我已被治愈
[04:22.89] 然后他轻吻她
[04:25.08] 希望她会忘却那个问题
