Wondering what type of wood it's made of

Wondering exactly which tree gave itself

And more importantly

Who sat beneath that tree?

Which lovers carved initials?

What happened on the ground around it?

Who walked on the leaves surrounding?

And where are those lovers now?

Are they still with us? Hopefully

Did that tree mean much to them?
那棵樹有讓他們留下深刻回憶嗎

Was it their place to go in spring?
那裡是不是他們春天約會的地方

Or summer when the sun came out?
或是夏日躲太陽的地點

Autumn walks amongst the leaves
曾一起漫步在秋天的落葉中嗎

I hope they know my table made me
希望他們知道這張桌子讓我

Think of them and help me see

Much more than just a table
超乎桌子的事物

The people I won't get to meet

At least I got more out of it
至少我從它獲得很多

Than just somewhere to sit and eat

Or to converse with someone else

Two folks between coffee

Now there's two more people sat down
在那棵樹下坐了下來

On a once sat under tree

Looking at a stranger

Wondering what kind of life have they got
好奇他們過著怎樣的生活

Wondering exactly what they're going through
好奇他們正經歷哪些事情

And where they're going to
還有他們要前往何處

What do they care about?
他們在乎什麼呢

And whereabouts do they go out
他們去哪些地方紓壓

To let loose pre the stressful mornings?

Do they feel their job is boring?
他們覺得自己的工作無聊嗎

And do they know how it feels
他們了解陷入無法自拔的

To fall in love uncontrollably?

Have they found their purpose or
他們找到生命的意義

The person that they'd like to be?
或是自己想成為的人了嗎

Around for months on end and spend
幾個月過去了

Days and nights there endlessly
經歷無數白天和黑夜

I hope they've met someone who gives them
我希望那些人已經找到某個人

Everything they truly need
給予他們真正所需

They may just be a stranger
這些人或許就只是陌生人

But I see strangers constantly
但我常常看見陌生的人們

We have so much in common and
我們有好多共通點

Yet not enough for us to speak
卻不足以讓我們開口交談

I watch the stranger walk away
我看著陌生人離去

They stop and look back at me
他們停下並回頭看著我

I can't tell if I'm the stranger
我不知道我是不是陌生人

Sometimes I feel like the tree
有時我感覺自己像那棵樹
