Castle in the Air

還記得高二時微雲姐姐要我們介紹英文歌,某一組就是選這首
想不到今天英聽講也是放這首

If
Lyrics:David Gates Music:David Gates

If a man could be two places at one time, I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.

If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.And when the world was through.

Then one by one the stars would all go out,
and you and I would simply fly away.

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show.the you I've come to know.

If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,You're all that's left me too.

And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.

If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.And when the world was through.

Then one by one the stars would all go out,
and you and I would simply fly away.



高中時聽到的版本,Helen of Troy只是個歌唱者對心儀對象美貌的譬喻
今天老師的意思卻傾向整首都是在寫Helen和?王子的故事
前面的段落似乎兩個版本都可以解釋,最後兩句委婉的私奔則傾向在寫Helen和?王子的故事

...無論如何這是首軟軟好唱好聽的歌
