Hazard

（单词翻译）

Hazard¹

    Richard Marx
    "My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
    Even then the folks² in town said with prejudiced eyes
    That boy's not right ...
    Three years ago when I came to know Mary
    First time that someone looked beyond the rumours³ and the lies
    And saw the man inside ...
    We used to walk down by the river
    She loved to watch the sun go down
    We used to walk along the river
    And dream our way out of this town ...
    No one understood what I felt for Mary
    No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
    And never came home ...
    Man with a badge⁴ came knocking next morning
    Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
    Pointed right at me ...
    I swear I left her by the river
    I swear I left her safe and sound
    I need to make it to the river
    And leave this old Nebraska town
    I think about my life gone by
    And how it's done me wrong
    There's no escape for me this time
    All of my rescues are gone, long gone
    I swear I left her by the river
    I swear I left her safe and sound
    I need to make it to the river
    And leave this old Nebraska town ..."
