音乐咖啡厅:Jewel - You Were Meant For Me

民谣女皇Jewel Kilcher近日终于发声了！但是不是新专辑，是她从艺快20年来的首张正式精选大碟，距离上张乡村大碟Sweet and Wild已经过去了3年时间，自2008年结束了和美国牛仔大王Ty Murray10年的爱情长跑，喜结连理后，我们的民谣女皇已经非常享受了居家的日子；在2011年为Ty生下了他们第一个爱情结晶后，Jewel似乎并没有再度回归乐坛的想法，只是依旧偶尔亮亮相，当当评委，某个重要唱首歌，非常悠闲的享受她和老公的南方乡村生活；首张精选的大碟注定是Jewel对于以前音乐生涯的一次最大的终结，同时也是她对于即将的音乐之路一个全新的定位和起点.

I hear the clock, it's six a.m.(聽見時鐘聲響，時間是清晨六點)

I got my maple¹ syrup², everything but you.(淋上楓糖漿，一切都準備好了，唯獨你不在)
I break the yolks, make a smiley face (把蛋黃弄破，畫一個笑臉)
I kinda like it in my brand new place (我想我有點喜歡這個新家 ?)
I wipe the spots off the mirror (拭去鏡子上的髒汙)
Don't leave the keys in the door (不把鑰匙留在門把上)
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause(也絕不把濕毛巾丟在地板上，因為..)
Dreams last for so long (夢境已持續許久)
even after you're gone(即使你已遠走)
I know you love me (我知道你是愛我的 ?)
And soon you will see (你很快就會明白)
You were meant for me (你註定屬於我)

I called my momma, she was out for a walk(打電話給媽媽，但她出去散步了)
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk(我慰語著一杯咖啡，它卻不想交談)
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news (拿起報紙，上面刊載著更多的壞消息)
More hearts being broken or people being used (更多破碎的心和被利用的人們)
Put on my coat in the pouring rain (在大雨中，我穿上雨衣)
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same (看了一場電影，感覺卻和從前完全不一樣)

I go about my business, I'm doin fine (處理了一些私事，做起來得心應手)
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line (何況，和你打電話後我又能說什麼)
Same old story, not much to say (還不都是老套，沒啥好提的)
Hearts are broken, everyday.(每天，都要心碎一遍)
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on (刷完牙，戴回髮飾)
I know you hate it when I leave the light on (我知道你不喜歡我留一盞燈亮著)
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.(拿了一本書， 掀開被單)
Take a deep breath³ and a good look around (作個深呼吸，看看四週)
Put on my pjs and hop⁴ into bed (穿好睡衣，跳到床上去)
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead (我還活著，但心如槁木死灰)
I try and tell myself it'll be all right(試著告訴自己一切都會平安沒事)
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause(今晚別再胡思亂想了)
Dreams last for so long (夢境已持續許久)
Even after you're gone (即使你已遠走)
