《Albatross》歌词

[00:00:00] Albatross - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)

[00:00:15] The lady comes to the gate

[00:00:20] Dressed in lavender and leather

[00:00:23] Looking North to the sea

[00:00:27] She finds the weather fine

[00:00:31] She hears the steeple bells ringing through the orchard

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

[00:00:38] She watches seagulls fly

[00:00:41] Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves

[00:00:44] The edges of the sky

[00:00:54] Many people wander up the hills

[00:00:58] From all around you

[00:01:01] Making up your memories

[00:01:02] And thinking they have found you

[00:01:06] They cover you with veils of wonder

[00:01:09] As if you were a bride

[00:01:12] Young men holding violets are curious

[00:01:15] To know if you have cried

[00:01:17] And tell you why

[00:01:18] And ask you why

[00:01:19] Any way your answer

[00:01:22] Lace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies

[00:01:28] Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family

[00:01:33] The embroidery of your life holds you in

[00:01:35] And keeps you out but you survive

[00:01:37] Imprisoned in your bones

[00:01:40] Behind the isinglass windows of your eyes

[00:01:45] And in the night

[00:01:46] 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 dark

[00:02:00] The hard bells ringing with pain

[00:02:06] Come away alone

[00:02:22] Even now by the gate

[00:02:30] With your long hair blowing

[00:02:33] And the colors of the day

[00:02:36] That lie along your arms

[00:02:40] You must barter your life

[00:02:43] To make sure you are living

[00:02:46] And the crowd that has come

[00:02:50] You give them the colors

[00:02:53] And the bells and wind and the dream

[00:02:59] Will there never be a prince

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

[00:03:07] Scattering the sand and foam into amethyst fountains

[00:03:12] Riding up the hills from the beach

[00:03:15] In the long summer grass

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

[00:03:19] And shattering the isinglass

[00:03:23] Day and night and day again

[00:03:25] And people come and go away forever

[00:03:30] While the shining summer sea dances

[00:03:32] In the glass of your mirror

[00:03:36] While you search the waves for love

[00:03:38] And your visions for a sign

[00:03:41] The knot of tears around your throat

[00:03:43] Is crystallizing into your design

[00:03:48] And in the night

[00:03:49] The iron wheels rolling through the rain

[00:03:55] Down the hills through the long grass to the sea

[00:04:02] And in the dark

[00:04:03] The hard bells ringing with pain

[00:04:09] Come away alone

[00:04:20] Come away alone with me
