| [00:04.57] | I grew up in Lawrence, there by the water |
| [00:09.97] | In the shadow of a textile mill |
| [00:14.42] | Sometimes I feel just like that building |
| [00:19.10] | Empty but standing there still |
| [00:24.46] | I liked the President, I liked the union |
| [00:29.44] | I believed in the Rights of Man |
| [00:34.12] | So I signed up when it was time to fight ****** |
| [00:39.00] | And they sent me off to Japan |
| [00:44.89] | I couldn't describe it, it was all just so bad |
| [00:49.39] | I kept my head down, tried to stay alive |
| [00:53.91] | I got shot in the leg, took me out of the action |
| [00:59.22] | So I was lucky enough to survive |
| [01:04.05] | I came home from the war, met a good woman named Maria |
| [01:09.51] | We had ourselves a son |
| [01:14.68] | When I first saw Jim's face, the first thing I thought |
| [01:19.19] | I hope he never has to carry a gun |
| [01:24.31] | It was a long time ago, another life that I had |
| [01:29.66] | A little boy who called me dad |
| [01:42.61] | I'd have terrible dreams of my time overseas |
| [01:48.00] | But otherwise life was alright |
| [01:52.56] | I had a job and a wife and a fine little lad |
| [01:57.71] | With eyes so cheery and bright |
| [02:02.63] | When his number came up I said let's move up north |
| [02:07.57] | To Halifax, what do you say? |
| [02:12.49] | But my Jim wouldn't have it, he said if I'm gonna be drafted |
| [02:17.52] | I don't want to run away |
| [02:22.37] | It was a long time ago, another life that I had |
| [02:27.27] | A little boy who called me dad |
| [02:40.60] | After just a few months the letters stopped coming |
| [02:45.59] | And one morning a knock on the door |
| [02:50.55] | Two nervous young men handed me a flag |
| [02:55.58] | Said your son died in the war |
| [03:00.44] | He gave his life for his country was what the man said |
| [03:05.19] | He didn't believe it and neither did I |
| [03:10.52] | I closed the front door, dropped the flag on the floor |
| [03:14.89] | And I sat down in Jim's room and cried |
| [03:20.94] | It was a long time ago, another life that I had |
| [03:25.56] | A little boy who called me dad |
| [03:39.35] | It was less than a year when my wife said to me |
| [03:44.15] | You look so much like our little Jim |
| [03:49.64] | She had to go, I don't blame her, you know |
| [03:54.34] | I also remind me of him |
| [03:59.19] | Now it's been forty years, I'd be a grandpa by now |
| [04:04.00] | But instead I just sit here alone |
| [04:09.13] | No one calls much these days, but anytime the phone rings |
| [04:13.61] | I think maybe the boy's coming back home |
| [04:19.05] | It was a long time ago, another life that I had |
| [04:24.26] | A little boy who called me dad |

| [00:04.57] | 我在劳伦斯长大,在堪萨斯河边 |
| [00:09.97] | 一座座纺织厂的阴影把大地笼罩 |
| [00:14.42] | 有时候我感觉自己就像那栋楼 |
| [00:19.10] | 空无一人,却静静地站在那里 |
| [00:24.46] | 我喜欢那位总统,我喜欢我们的工会 |
| [00:29.44] | 我相信人们的权利和义务 |
| [00:34.12] | 所以当要战斗的时候,我踊跃参军了 |
| [00:39.00] | 而他们把我送到了日本 |
| [00:44.89] | 我无法形容,一切都太糟糕了 |
| [00:49.39] | 我低着头,试图活下去 |
| [00:53.91] | 我腿部中了枪,被搬出了战场 |
| [00:59.22] | 所以我很幸运地活了下来 |
| [01:04.05] | 我从战场回到家,遇到了一个叫玛丽亚的好女人 |
| [01:09.51] | 我们一同养育了个男孩 |
| [01:14.68] | 当我第一次看到吉姆的脸时,我首先想到的是 |
| [01:19.19] | 我希望他永远不用举起 |
| [01:24.31] | 那是很久以前的事了,我曾有的另一种生活 |
| [01:29.66] | 有个会叫我爸爸的小男孩 |
| [01:42.61] | 我有时会做噩梦,梦见那场 |
| [01:48.00] | 但除此之外,日子还很舒坦 |
| [01:52.56] | 我有一份工作,一个妻子和一个可爱的男孩 |
| [01:57.71] | 他的眼睛是那么的明亮 |
| [02:02.63] | 当他的征兵号码一出来,我说让我们往北走 |
| [02:07.57] | 去哈利法克斯,你说呢? |
| [02:12.49] | 但我的吉姆不同意,他说如果我被选上了 |
| [02:17.52] | 我可不想逃离兵役 |
| [02:22.37] | 那是很久以前的事了,我曾有的另一种生活 |
| [02:27.27] | 有个会叫我爸爸的小男孩 |
| [02:40.60] | 仅仅几个月后,信件就不再来了 |
| [02:45.59] | 一天早上,有人敲响了我的门 |
| [02:50.55] | 两个紧张的年轻人递给我一面旗子 |
| [02:55.58] | 说你儿子在中逝去 |
| [03:00.44] | 他说我的孩子为献出了生命 |
| [03:05.19] | 他不愿相信这一切,而我也不敢 |
| [03:10.52] | 我掩上前门,旗子跌落在地板上 |
| [03:14.89] | 我坐在吉姆的房间里默默哭泣 |
| [03:20.94] | 那是很久以前的事了,我曾有的另一种生活 |
| [03:25.56] | 有个会叫我爸爸的小男孩 |
| [03:39.35] | 不到一年,我妻子对我说 |
| [03:44.15] | 你看起来简直就像我们的小吉姆 |
| [03:49.64] | 她得走了,我不会怪她,你知道 |
| [03:54.34] | 因为我也想起了他 |
| [03:59.19] | 四十年过去了,我本已经是爷爷了 |
| [04:04.00] | 可现在,我只是一个人独守空房 |
| [04:09.13] | 这些天没什么人打电话,但电话铃一响 |
| [04:13.61] | 我想可能是这男孩要到家了 |
| [04:19.05] | 那是很久以前的事了,我曾有的另一种生活 |
| [04:24.26] | 有个会叫我爸爸的小男孩 |
