《To Althea From Prison》歌词

[00:00:00] To Althea From Prison - Fairport Convention

[00:00:52] Written by：Richard Lovelace/Dave Swarbrick

[00:01:45] When love with unconfined wings hovers within my gates

[00:01:56] And my divine Althea brings to whisper at my grates

[00:02:08] When I lie tangled in her hair and fettered with her eye

[00:02:19] Birds that wanton in the air know no such liberty

[00:02:31] When flowing cups run swiftly round with no allaying thames

[00:02:42] Our careless heads with roses crowned our hearts with royal flames

[00:02:53] When first decreeth in wine we steep when healths and rafts run free

[00:03:05] Fishes that tipple in the deep know no such liberty

[00:03:19] Stone walls do not a prison make not iron bars a gate

[00:03:31] Minds innocent and quiet take that as a hermitage

[00:03:41] If I have freedom in my love and in my soul am free

[00:03:54] Angels alone that soar above enjoy such liberty
