If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see
当我闭上我的双眼，我的灵魂就能看见
And there's a place at the table that you saved for me
桌上你为我保留的那一小块空间
So many thousand miles over land and sea
跨越千山万海的千里之外
I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer
我希望能有勇气，让你听见我的祈祷
And somehow I'll be there
而我总能回来陪你
It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay
那里会有混凝土地面让我能安然躺下
And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay
监狱后的墙面如同尸体一般冰冷
But there's a shaft of light where I count my days
但那总会透过一道光让我细数年岁
So don't despair of the empty chair
所以不要为那永远空着的椅子绝望
And somehow I'll be there
我总能在那里陪你
Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak
有时我坚毅似铁，有时也软弱不堪
And days I'm so broken I can barely speak
有段时间我已绝望到话都难以说出
There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam
但我脑内仍有让我思绪畅游的世界
Where somehow I've come home
在那里我能回到家中
And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare
当世界充满肃杀，树也干枯光秃
And you just stare out the window in the darkness there
而你只是凝望着窗外的黑暗
Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear
以前我经常会在我们聚餐时姗姗来迟
But keep my place and the empty chair
但请擦干净那积灰的桌椅
And somehow I'll be there
因为我总会到来
And somehow I'll be there
因为我总能回来
