There's a man who's been out sailing
有一個人 他曾經出海航行
In a decade full of dreams
十年之間 他有著滿懷的夢想
And he takes her to a schooner
他帶著她上了一艘帆船
And he treats her like a queen

Bearing beads from California
帶來加利福尼亞的鳥兒
With their amber stones and green
和琥珀般碧綠的石頭
He has called her from the harbor

He has kissed her with his freedom

He has heard her off to starboard

In the breaking and the breathing of the water weeds
在水草的破碎與呼吸中
While she was busy being free

There's a man who's climbed a mountain

And he's calling out her name

And he hopes her heart can hear

3000 miles he calls again

He can think her there beside him

He can miss her just the same

He has missed her in the forest

While he showed her all the flowers
他曾經為她獻上所有純潔美好的花朵
And the branches sang the chorus

As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree

While she was somewhere being free

There's a man who sent a letter

And he's waiting for her reply

Since the day they said goodbye

We could make it if we try

He has seen her at the office
他曾在辦公室想到她
With her name on all his papers
不知不覺在草稿紙上寫滿了她的名字
Through the sharing of the profits

He will find it hard to shake her from these memories

And she's so busy being free

There's a lady in the city

With his facts and figures scrawl

She has brought them to her senses

They have laughed inside her laughter

Now she rallies her defenses

For she fears that one will ask her for eternity

There's a man who sends her medals

And you know there may be more

She will love them when she sees them

And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree
