Lyrics
Verse 1
舊沙發上 毛綫纏繞著沉默
你數著日子 等我回家的承諾
黃昏的光 斜映在斑駁牆角
那些嘮叨 如今成了 遙遠歌謠
Chorus
時光是偷走晨露的賊啊
我却在人海 弄丟了你的年華
如果晚風 能捎去這聲抱歉
請讓它輕撫 你鬢邊的白髮
Verse 2
行李箱輪 碾過車站的喧囂
你揮手時 藏起了顫抖的嘴角
後來地圖 標記了無數遠方
却忘了標注 歸途的坐標
Chorus
時光是偷走晨露的賊啊
我却在人海 弄丟了你的年華
如果晚風 能捎去這聲抱歉
請讓它輕撫 你鬢邊的白髮
Bridge
我終於聽懂 所有無聲的等待
在歲月裂縫裏 長成青苔
鋼琴鍵落下 弦樂如潮湧來
這一刻 我跪倒在 愛的殘骸
Outro
月光啊 請慢些走
替我照亮 他蹣跚的巷口
直到所有虧欠 都釀成酒
醉倒在 家門前的 深秋

English Translation:
Verse 1
On the old sofa, silence is spun in wool
You count the days, awaiting my promise to return home
The dusk light slants across the mottled corner of the wall
Those once-tiresome nagging words have now become a distant ballad
Chorus
Time is the thief that steals the morning dew
Yet I, amidst the sea of people, lost the years that belonged to you
If the evening breeze could carry this apology of mine
Let it gently caress the white strands at your temple
Verse 2
The suitcase wheels roll over the station's din
You waved, hiding the tremor at the corner of your mouth
Later, maps were marked with countless distant lands
But forgot to mark the coordinates of the journey back home
Chorus
Time is the thief that steals the morning dew
Yet I, amidst the sea of people, lost the years that belonged to you
If the evening breeze could carry this apology of mine
Let it gently caress the white strands at your temple
Bridge
Finally, I understand all the wordless waiting
Growing like moss within the cracks of passing years
The piano keys descend, strings surge like a tide
In this moment, I kneel amidst the wreckage of love
Outro
Moonlight, oh, please slow your pace
Light the way through his faltering lane for me
Until all debts of regret are brewed into wine
And we lie drunk before the doorstep in the deep autumn
