Bleak House (2)

Berbeda dengan buku aslinya, yang menampilkan Esther Summerson sebagai narator, lagu ini nampaknya lebih menyuarakan perasaan Sir Leicester Dedlock terhadap istrinya, yang pada akhirnya meninggalkannya sendiri.

Through the vanished years

Fate bestowed a lady's seat

She honoured it with grace

Hid the part and with it me

Now, she is everything to me

Apa manfaat keingintahuan?
memacu kecurigaan
Apakah semua pengetahuan akan menuju kebaikan?

Now, I'd give everything to know

Why my flesh and blood must suffer so

Turning and tossing

From river to crossing

Causing great confusion

If she only knew, she was everything to me

Apa gunanya kebenaran ?
bila akhirnya hanya membawa kesedihan
Apakah memang harus kita ungkap kebenaran mati-matian?
bila membuat hidupmu semakin terkucil dan sendirian

Though I was denied her tenderness

Years spent in gloom

I cried in my room

I believed I'd been quite deserted

But now that I find, she gave everything to me
