Wintertime

about

夏天悄悄地離去,我又獨自一個迎來這個令人痛心的季節。

「對不起,這個冬天,我又想起你了。」

我想起我們曾經在悠長的聖誕假日裡,百無聊賴地窩在家裡,聽著蘇格蘭樂隊Travis的《Writing to Reach You》;
你說這首歌總是讓你掛念童年時的草莓園,在冬天裡你會和一班孤兒院的孩子在那邊玩。

我把Bob Dylan的Blood on the Tracks放在唱片機上,轉盤唱針「滋滋」的雜音聲摻雜在《Simple Twist of Fate》,起了某種異常的化學作用。

聽著這懷舊的小調,我不禁說一句「真傷感」。

你一臉冷淡地望著我,好像一點也聽不懂我的說話。

我閉上嘴,沒有說話,讓沉默佔據整個房間。


後來,你回到了英國約克,那個在地球另一端、應該比香港冷很多的城市。

「你有戒了煙嗎?」、「你有在草莓園再造一個雪人嗎?」

可是我始終沒有給你發個訊息,在聖誕節裡跟你簡單說聲 “Merry Christmas”

有些說話,留在心裡總是比較實際。

我這樣安慰自己。



“He woke up, the room was bare.
He didn't see her anywhere.
He told himself he didn't care.
Pushed the window open wide.
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate.
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.” – Simple Twist of Fate 



分手那天,我獨自在空虛的車廂裡,大口大口地吸著車裡的香煙,彷彿快將窒息似的,拼命留住那最後的救命氧氣。

lyrics

The cigarette, smoking whole day long
The snowman tells me how the thing has gone
“But you don’t have to feel sad,
the seasons change with no reason”
The harvest street, silence of the dead
Old country songs could take me whole day long
It’s time for me to move on her frown on my childish behavior
The summertime has gone
Renew our compromises
You’ve left your house in York
Found me on Westland Street
Oh Rise and shine my lady
It’s a simple twist of emotion
When we met in Wintertime

Cold turkey night, Christmas song has rang
The angel cries, no one can comprehend
What goes on under the scar? Or is it distance who tear us apart?
I’m holding on, for a brighter sunny day
I’m losing it inside the driving cab
Oh, why?
Feeling some emptiness inside yet

The summertime has gone
We didn’t realize
The Scottish band came in
I’m writing to reach you
Oh Rise and shine my lady
It’s a simple twist of emotion
When we met in Wintertime

The summertime has gone
We didn’t realize
You’ve left your house in York
Reach the vanilla sky
Oh rise and shine my lady
I left nothing but mistakes to you
Two lovers on the street kissing dusk till dawn
Three more weeks they have to say the hollow last goodbye
Yes I know, I have “did wrong”
But why you can’t ever keep calm and listen
We wind up in Wintertime
