歌词

She was 19 with a baby on the way

那时她19岁 孩子即将出生

On the east-side of the city she was working every day

在城东夜以继日地干活

Cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake

晚上刷碗 她几乎昏昏欲睡

She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was going to change

她坚信她总有一天会熬出头

And across town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

深夜 她坐着巴士穿过小镇回到她的单间

And then she'd turn on the light

她亮起灯

She would sit down at the table

她会坐在桌旁

Tell herself that it's alright

She was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive

She'd never be alone

Have someone to hold

And when night's were cold

She'd say

The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

They were 90 and were living out their days

On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

And their life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed

And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

But they never had to travel cause they would never be apart
