《Albatross》歌词

[00:00:00] Albatross - Judy Collins

[00:00:13] The lady comes to the gate dressed in lavender and leather

[00:00:22] Looking north to the sea she finds the weather fine

[00:00:30] She hears the steeple bells ringing through the orchard

[00:00:35] All the way from town

[00:00:40] She watches seagulls fly

[00:00:43] Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves

[00:00:48] The edges of the sky

[00:00:55] Many people wander up the hills

[00:00:57] From all around you

[00:01:00] Making up your memories and thinking they have found you

[00:01:05] They cover you with veils of wonder as if you were a bride

[00:01:10] Young men holding violets are curious to know if you have cried

[00:01:15] And tell you why

[00:01:16] And ask you why

[00:01:18] Any way you answer

[00:01:23] Lace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies

[00:01:27] Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family

[00:01:32] The embroid'ry of your life holds you in

[00:01:34] And keeps you out but you survive

[00:01:37] Imprisoned in your bones

[00:01:39] Behind the isinglass windows of your eyes

[00:01:45] And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain

[00:01:52] Down the hills through the long grass to the sea

[00:01:59] And in the night the hard bells ringing with pain

[00:02:06] Come away alone

[00:02:28] Even now by the gate with you long hair blowing

[00:02:35] And the colors of the day that lie along your arms

[00:02:41] You must barter your life to make sure you are living

[00:02:48] And the crowd that has come

[00:02:51] You give them the colors

[00:02:54] And the bells and wind and the dream

[00:03:02] Will there never be a prince

[00:03:04] Who rides along the sea and the mountains

[00:03:08] Scattering the sand and foam into amethyst fountains

[00:03:13] Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass

[00:03:18] Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglass

[00:03:25] Day and night and day again and people come and go away forever

[00:03:30] While the shining summer sea dances in the glass of your mirror

[00:03:35] While you search the waves for love and your visions for a sign

[00:03:41] The knot of tears around your throat is crystallizing into your design

[00:03:49] And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain

[00:03:56] Down the hills through the long grass to the sea

[00:04:03] And in the night the hard bells ringing with pain

[00:04:10] Come away alone

[00:04:26] Come away alone

[00:04:40] With me
