早餐吃得夠多,午餐省了。中午星巴,一杯咖啡,坐定。對面女子,穿著休閑,蘋果手機,蘋果手錶,蘋果MBP。一邊電腦上操作,一邊似在準備演講或面試。嘴裡念念有詞,面部表情還隨著話語變化而演進。體型略胖但壯實,皮膚不好,很多日光暴晒后遺的雀斑。我戴著耳機聽音樂,沒有研究她的演說內容。一段Pearl Jam的歌曲響起,曲調很熟,只是不記得叫啥名字了,一看之下,竟然是一個很長的名字。細細研讀覺得歌詞很有趣,很懷舊,有種西部老電影的略顯蒼桑,黑白片的影像,沒有言語,只是鏡頭的切換,情緒就在其間蕩漾。
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
I seem to recognize your face
haunting, familiar, yet i can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place, i wish i'd seen the place
but no one's ever taken me
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
i swear i recognize your breath
memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
me, you wouldn't recall, for i'm not my former
it's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf
i changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see
i just want to scream...hello...
my god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are, and here i am
hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
hearts and thoughts they fade...
歌詞與我所處的場景多少有些不搭,只是隨手寫下這樣一段感覺。
