人是一种奇怪的动物
前一瞬间
还在漫不经心地
拨弄着手指听着音乐
后一瞬间
便睁大了眼睛
翻出歌词直挺挺地盯着
不肯放开

Surprise Ice

When past sometimes takes you with soft hands
forcelessly pulls you to your chair
Hides you away from these half days
sunless at the end of year
The air is like a knife cutting through you
A room in the house is always warm
Stretched out on the bathroom floor
thinking
of fair days your future may hold

Love comes like a surprise ice on the water
love comes like a surprise ice at dawn

Deprived of the light and of colours
the world ends at your window tree
Darkness creates these illusions
but pale days can teach you to see
Rain falls
but no life is given
week pass
no progress is made
Past sometimes takes you with soft hands
and all that surrounds you will fade

Love comes like a surprise ice on the water
love comes like a surprise ice at dawn
