| All I Ask Of You - Sarah Brightman &(Phantom)
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I’m here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry -your tears.
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .
Say you love me
every waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me with you,now and always . . .
promise me that all
you say is true -
that’s all I ask of you . . .
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light.
You’re safe:
No-one will find you.
your fears are far behind you . . .
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night . . .
and you always beside me
to hold me and to hide me . . .
Then say you’ll share with me one love ,one lifetime
Iet me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
Share each day with me, each night, each morning . . .
Say you love me . . .
You know I do . . .
Love me -
that’s all I ask of you . .
亚力去年买了一间三十五万的房子,只付了10%的首期。以他每年四万薪水的收入,只能合格取得十五万的首贷,其余的便要拿高利息的二贷。LP又失业。为应付每月的开支,亚力在唐人街找了一份送外卖的工作。晚上八点到凌晨一点,底薪每时二元,加上每次送餐四元的汽油津贴和客人的小费,每晚都有超过50元的收入,可以暂时解决经济困境。
上星期五大约凌晨12点左右,亚力有一个约50元的餐要送。查过地图,找到了地址,发现这是一个以前未送过的客户。接单的MM在单上写明”从後门进”几个大字。
这晚星月无光,寒冷的秋风迎面吹着,四面静寂无声, 只有风吹落叶,沙沙作响。亚力把车泊好,捧着还热乎乎纸袋包着的餐,快步走到目的所在。啊!原来是唐人街不远的华人XX殡仪馆。这殡仪馆颇有名地,大部份的华人都在此办丧事。亚力心想:可能晚上刚办好事,有职员要吃宵夜咯。前门已没灯,想起单上写的字,便从後面一条大巷,向后门走去。后面有一个大停车场。是给丧眷们泊车用的。亚力按了门铃。一会儿只见一个比自己高半个头的男人,穿着一套白色的西服,打着黑色的领带,头上带着黑色的毡帽,帽子拉得低低的把半边面遮住了。他用低沉的声音说: ”为什麽这样久?” 亚力连忙回答:”对不起啊,因为找地址!” 偷偷地向他下半脸望望,从微弱光线,只见到蜡黄色的鼻子和没见唇的嘴巴。一阵浓烈地烟味,拨面而来。那人从裤袋掏出六张十元,递给亚力。说:”全拿去吧!” 亚力一阵欢喜,五十元的餐竟拿到十元的外快,连忙说:”Thanks you, thank you!”立刻飞车回餐馆清数结算。
星期六亚力睡到中午,和LP到唐人街 ”饮茶”。埋单时发现有一张华人用来办丧事用的”阴司纸”假饯。吓了一跳。手电同时响了起来,是餐馆的MM的声音:”老板发现昨晚你结的单,有五张是阴司纸,叫你立刻来!” 亚力立刻想起咋晚那个蜡黄脸的,告诉LP:我撞鬼了!
(故事全部虚构, 如有雷同,实属巧合)
祝大家万圣节快乐!
