Track 2

Remember your neighborhood in the late afternoon sun

Your body small, mind1)innocent

Every image a wonder,2)visages of beautiful3)naivety

The earth was a different place

All you owned were a box full of toys and a smile on your face

Love wasn’t your4)hunt and5)conquest

Adventure could only6)quench that thirst

Wonderful, everything was

Freedom in childhood

猶記得你那斜陽(yáng)下的鄰舍

你那小小的身軀，純真的心靈

每一個(gè)畫(huà)面都令人驚嘆，每一個(gè)神情都美麗爛漫

這個(gè)地方不一般

你所擁有的就是一大盒的玩具，還有臉蛋上的微笑

愛(ài)并非你的獵物或俘虜

冒險(xiǎn)也只是澆滅你的渴望

美好的，是當(dāng)時(shí)的一切
