She is the reason I survive



电影如火如荼在影院上映时,我没去看;时隔多年,看了豆瓣的推荐,BT下来看,无巧不成书的发现,原来你所提到的"she"是这部影片的主题曲,而不是我找到的Groove Coverage的"She". 所以因此对该影片存了丝毫感激心,否则岂不是一个乌龙永远摆下去?难怪当初听张冠李戴的"she"时会纳闷你怎么会将此歌与我联系起来,而在乍一听Elvis Costello的低吟时就有直觉这才是真命天子。看来,如今虽不能时时做到心有灵犀,却还是能常常一点就通的。至于别的感受,尽在不言中了。      


She   


she may be the face I can't forget   

a trace of pleasure I regret   

may be my treasure or the price I have to pay   

she may be the song that Solomon sings   

may be the chill that autumn brings   

my be a hundred different things   

within the measure of the day.      


She may be the beauty or the beast   

may be the famine or the feast   

may turn each day into heaven or a hell   

she may be the mirror of my dream   

a smile reflected in a stream   

she may not be what she may seem   

inside as shell      


she who always seems so happy 'n proud   

who's eyes can be so private and so proud   

no one's allowed to see them when they cry   

she may be the love that can and hope to last   

may come to me from shadows of the past   

that I remember till the day I die      


she may be the reason I survive   

the why and where for I'm alive   

the one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years   

me I'll take her laughter and her tears   

and make them all my souvenirs   

for where she goes I got to be   

the meaning of my life is   

she   

she   

she

后续:世事总是无巧不成书的。后来每每中午与同事去吃大家乐,餐厅里总是放着这首歌。我会突然停了与她们的争论,安静下来,独自将你怀想。只是我的听觉神经再坚韧,这首歌的意味也被破坏殆尽。
