Andromeda歌词

作曲 : Heather Styka
When I was very young, my parents bought a lake /
It was more of a marshy pond in the middle of nowhere /
But it was our pond; each year we returned in summer /
When Tyler's ice cream shop reopened in town //

Now Tyler's closed his doors and retired to Florida /
I'm at the water's edge at the end of October /
It seems wilder now, with the trees all barren branching out /
like dark nets into a cold blue sky //

The water is so calm, everything's reflected /
Reflecting all the years that have passed by /
I used to sit on this pier and look into the depths /
Like it was a crystal ball that could show me destiny //

Our rowboat was a raft, all patched and filled with air /
I preferred to stay back on the shore /
Each sunken log meant danger and it always made me nervous /
to let anyone else control the oars //

At night the pier was where I learned my first constellation /
Andromeda was the galaxy closest to our own /
Perseus' prize, Cassiopeia's daughter /
She must have wondered, too, what her fate was on her own //

I've never seen the lake this calm, so settled /
Comparing it to glass couldn't begin to describe /
But a knowledge in me waits and reminds me that those depths /
Are murky as ever, churning deep inside编辑于2023/09/16更新
