《Down From Dover》歌词

[00:00:00] Down From Dover - Marianne Faithfull (玛莉安)

[00:00:22] I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide

[00:00:26] The secret I have tried concealing

[00:00:33] When he left he promised me that

[00:00:36] He'd be back by the time it was revealing

[00:00:44] The sun behind a cloud just

[00:00:46] Casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover

[00:00:55] And the time is running out for me

[00:00:58] I wish that he would hurry down from Dover

[00:01:06] He's been gone so long when

[00:01:08] He left the show was deep upon the ground

[00:01:17] And I have seen a spring and summer

[00:01:19] Pass and now the leaves are turning brown

[00:01:27] And any time a tiny face will show

[00:01:31] Itself 'cause waiting's almost over

[00:01:38] But I won't have a name to give it

[00:01:42] If he doesn't hurry down from Dover

[00:01:49] My folks weren't understanding

[00:01:51] When they found out they sent me from the home place

[00:02:00] My daddy said folks found out

[00:02:02] He'd be ashamed to ever show his face

[00:02:11] My mamma said I was a fool

[00:02:13] She did not believe me when I told her

[00:02:21] That everything would be all right 'cause soon

[00:02:25] He would be coming down from Dover

[00:02:38] I loved him more than anything and

[00:02:40] I could not refuse him when he needed me

[00:02:48] He was the only one I'd loved and

[00:02:51] I just can't believe that he was using me

[00:02:59] He couldn't leave me here like this

[00:03:01] I know I can't be so it can't be over

[00:03:10] He wouldn't make me go through this so long

[00:03:13] Oh he'll be coming down from Dover

[00:03:21] My body aches the time is here

[00:03:23] It's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'

[00:03:31] Out baby has been born but something's wrong

[00:03:34] It's much too still I hear no cryin'

[00:03:42] I guess in some strange way she knew

[00:03:44] She'd never have a father's arms to hold her

[00:03:52] And dying was her way of telling me

[00:03:56] He wasn't coming down from Dover
