Only an ocean away

2002年的时候，Alan和她隔着一个太平洋
两年的苦恋，就算Alan再如何坚持，我都能看到他脸上的疲惫
他在北京，却过着西八区的生活

01年的夏天，我带着她，Alan带着她，四人聚会
就算面对即将天各一方的将来，仍然性感而动人
现在真的很怀念那时候的单纯，满足于那种单纯

然而现在没有了，即使在家休息足不出户
也感到疲惫，脖子酸痛得不像是自己的
用沉默对抗寂寞

翻出Sarah Brightman的精选，听那首Only an ocean away
我觉得Sarah唱这首歌的时候，一定也是对着一个人的
否则，我不会有如此的共鸣
她的歌，比较少有这种恰到好处的力度

03年，Alan和她告别的时候，我把这首歌给他听
碰巧的是，专辑里还有首著名的Time to say goodbye

I see a shadow every day and night.
I walk a hundred streets of neon lights,
Only when I'm crying.
Can you hear me crying.

So many times you always wanted more,
Chasing illusions that you're longing for.
Wish I wasn't crying.
Can you hear me crying.

There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.
You reach out and touch me.
I feel you in my own heart.
More than a lifetime.
Still goes on forever.
But it helps to remember
You're only an ocean away.

Was there a moment when I felt no pain.
I want to feel it in my life again.
Let it be over now.
Oh Oh over now.

'Cause I remember all the days and nights
We used to walk the streets of neon lights
Oh I want you here with me.
Oh be here with me.
……

后来，2005年，当她回国之后，Alan就去了Purdue
此时，离Alan和她之间的约定
已经过去了4年

两人之间，仍然仅有一海相隔
