《She Cut Off Her Long Silken Hair》歌词

[00:00:00] She Cut Off Her Long Silken Hair - Richard Thompson

[00:00:06] Midnight in her room

[00:00:12] There was music and incense and mirrors all around

[00:00:23] By the light of the moon

[00:00:29] Her silver dress slipped to the ground

[00:00:37] Then she knelt like St Joan

[00:00:43] And invisible armies attended her there

[00:00:53] And her knife brightly shone

[00:00:58] As she cut off her long silken hair

[00:01:14] Trapped I suppose

[00:01:22] Lied for my sake

[00:01:30] Crushed like the rose

[00:01:35] That somebody picked by mistake

[00:01:44] Oh I knew it would come

[00:01:50] I knew she would leave me for some better start

[00:02:00] Oh I knew it would come

[00:02:05] She was too well rehearsed in her part

[00:02:14] And I measured my life

[00:02:20] And my heart fairly broke with the sorrow and care

[00:02:30] As she took down the knife

[00:02:35] And she cut off her long silken hair

[00:03:20] Oh there's some who believe

[00:03:26] Oh there's some who believe there are reasons to lie

[00:03:36] And there's some who deceive

[00:03:42] And the truth is right there in their eyes

[00:03:50] Oh but I don't see why

[00:03:57] In all of my life I've seen nothing so fair

[00:04:07] And I don't see why

[00:04:12] She cut off her long silken hair

[00:04:25] I don't see why I don't see why
