Artist: Richard Marx
Album: Rush Street
Year: 1991
My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with predjudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors 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 badge 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
可能很多人并不知道Richard Marx，但很多人应该知道《Right here waiting》。
如何形容《Hazard》？我找不到语言，很多年了，听这首歌，感动仍然，甚至更深，也许因为岁月的递延，使我越发能够体会到歌中的无奈、焦燥与绝望。
“Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly/Pointed right at me”真是恐怖的景象，听上去都觉得不寒而栗，而“I think about my life gone by/And how it's done me wrong”的突然爆发，继之转入“All of my rescues are gone, long gone”的低沉，分外有种感人的力量。
人的一生有无数次逃离，只是，即使是“leave this old nebraska town”，也不能不询问，那少年，在其后悠长岁月中，他能否摆脱梦厣？
