There's a rainbow of babies
Ada pelangi bayi-bayi
Draped over the graveyard
Yang terhampar di atas kuburan
Where all the dead sailors
Tempat semua pelaut yang sudah mati
Wait for their brides
Menunggu pasangan mereka
And the cold bitter snow
Dan salju dingin yang pahit
Has strangled each grassblade
Telah mencekik setiap helai rumput
Where the salt from their tears
Di mana garam dari air mata mereka
Washed out with the tide
Terbawa pergi oleh ombak

[Chorus:]
And I smiled on the Wabash
Dan aku tersenyum di Wabash
The last time I passed it
Saat terakhir aku melewatinya
Yes I gave her a wink
Ya, aku meliriknya
From the passenger side
Dari sisi penumpang
And my foot fell asleep
Dan kakiku kesemutan
As I swallowed my candy
Saat aku menelan permenku
Knowing he was in heaven
Sadar bahwa dia sudah di surga
Before he died
Sebelum dia mati

Now the harbor's on fire
Sekarang pelabuhan terbakar
With the dreams and desires
Dengan mimpi dan hasrat
Of a thousand young poets
Dari seribu penyair muda
Who failed 'cause they tried
Yang gagal karena mereka mencoba
For a rhyme without reason
Mencari sajak tanpa alasan
Floats down to the bottom
Terbenam ke dasar
Where the scavengers eat 'em
Di mana para pemulung memakannya
And wash in with the tide
Dan terbawa pergi oleh ombak

[Chorus]

The sun can play tricks
Matahari bisa bermain-main
With your eyes on the highway
Dengan matamu di jalan raya
The moon can lay sideways
Bulan bisa terbaring miring
Till the ocean stands still
Sampai lautan diam
But a person can't tell
Tapi seseorang tak bisa bilang
His best friend he loves him
Kepada sahabatnya bahwa dia mencintainya
Till time has stopped breathing
Sampai waktu berhenti bernapas
You're alone on the hill
Kau sendirian di bukit

[Chorus]
