白天的世界很大，大到紛紛擾擾，大到烏煙瘴氣；晚上的世界很小，小到獨自在書桌前敲著鍵盤，小到感覺到溫度變化... 雨後的天空特別深邃，明月高掛，聽聽遠方的聲音...
今天推薦英國詩人歌手 Chris de Burgh：It's Such a Long Way Home (1979)
...
如果"希望"是一種目光，這種目光必定朝向遠方；如果"凝視"是一種距離，這種距離就是鄉愁，一種比遠方更遠的遠方... 下雨的關係，今晚特別安靜，特別像家...
Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel,
Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well,
But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace,
And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face,
*It's such a long way home,
It's such a long way home;
It's such a long way;
Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms,
And then she whispered "Oh dear Lord don't let him come to any harm"
And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own,
It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but "Please come home",
Oh so many people have to travel away,
From the ones that they love and they need,
But I want to tell you that all your life,
You can depend on me;
Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune,
And it's the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon,
And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize,
That it's a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry,
