She was a silent white rose
Who lived in a tall iron tower
Barefoot she wandered in her room
Dreaming of a life and a lover
And in the nights she threw a net
Into the ocean wide and deep
Some of the things she caught in there
Made her sad and made her weep
A fiery warmth embraced her heart
When sunrays caught her hair
And as she looked upon the world
Her longing got hard to bear
She was locked in an iron tower
With windows but no doors to be found
Often she listened hard at night
For a voice in the ocean’s sound
And voices were mingling with her own
Waves were singing, flee the tower
By the stairway that takes you down
Follow the ocean’s song my flower
And silently the rose went down
She was shivering in the dark and the cold
Through an opening in the wall
The ocean sang as foretold
Floating upon the warm blue sea
By the waves to a shore she was led
Among the trees red roses grew
And the white rose turned to red...
她是一朵沉默的白玫瑰
住在一座高高的鐵塔里
她赤著腳在自己房間里徘徊
夢想著某種生活,夢想擁有一個情人
一天夜里,她往海里
撒下一張寬而深的網
從中收獲的一些東西
讓她哀傷,讓她哭泣
當陽光照射在她的頭發上
她的心充滿了火一般的熱情
而當她仰望世界時
她的渴望變得讓她難以忍受
她被鎖在一座鐵塔里
里面有窗卻找不到門
夜晚,她常常努力聆聽
來自大海的一個聲音
而那些聲音和她的聲音混合在了一起
海浪在吟唱,從那帶你下去的樓梯
逃離鐵塔
一路追隨大海的歌聲,我的花兒
玫瑰靜靜地走下去
她在黑暗和寒冷中顫抖著
透過墻上的一個缺口
大海像先前預示的那般吟唱著
飄浮在溫暖的藍色海洋之上
她被海浪帶到了岸邊
樹叢間,紅玫瑰綻放著
而那白玫瑰也變紅了……

這首“Ocean Rose”有種令人無法抗拒的憂郁氣質,極少人聽過后不為之動容。那唯美的意象,干凈的旋律,蒼涼而悠遠的嗓音,讓聽者仿佛置身于故事的發生地,專注于那朵孤獨白玫瑰的茫然若失,感慨于“滄海無涯”。某種說
