《Down from Dover》歌词

[00:00:00] Down from Dover - Dolly Parton (多莉·帕顿)

[00:00:06] I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing

[00:00:15] When he left he promised me he'd be back by the time it was revealing

[00:00:25] The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow

[00:00:28] O'er the fields of clover

[00:00:34] And time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from

[00:00:39] Dover

[00:00:44] He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground

[00:00:53] And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now

[00:00:57] The leaves are turning brown

[00:01:03] And any time a tiny face will show itself cause waiting's almost over

[00:01:12] But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from

[00:01:17] Dover

[00:01:20] From Dover

[00:01:22] My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the homeplace

[00:01:31] My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face

[00:01:41] My mama said I was a fool and she did not believe

[00:01:45] It when I told her

[00:01:51] Mama everything's gonna be alright cause soon he'll be coming down

[00:01:55] From Dover

[00:01:58] From Dover

[00:02:05] I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed

[00:02:11] Me

[00:02:15] He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was

[00:02:20] Using me

[00:02:24] He wouldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't

[00:02:29] Be over

[00:02:34] He wouldn't make me go through this so long he'll be coming down from Dover

[00:02:43] My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where

[00:02:48] I'm a lying

[00:02:53] Our baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still

[00:02:57] I hear no cryin'

[00:03:02] I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms

[00:03:07] To hold her

[00:03:12] So dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover

[00:03:21] From Dover from Dover from Dover from Dover
