《The Pirate of Penance》歌词

[00:00:00] Artist：joni mitchell

[00:00:02] Songs Title：the pirate of penance

[00:00:06] The pirate anchored on a wednesday

[00:00:11] And why he came to port I wonder

[00:00:16] To see a lady so my friends say

[00:00:21] She dances for the sailors

[00:00:22] In a smoky cabaret bar underground

[00:00:26] Down in a cellar in a harbor town

[00:00:34] I know he told her love was treasure

[00:00:39] And they would reap the fullest bounty

[00:00:43] He only comes to port for pleasure

[00:00:48] So when the winds of morning

[00:00:50] Blew the curtains in she woke and found hed gone

[00:00:53] I saw his sails unfurling thursday dawn

[00:01:01] The pirate he will sink you with a kiss

[00:01:03] Hell steal your heart and sail away

[00:01:06] Saturday early we met in the cove near the forest

[00:01:12] Hell leave you drowning in the flotsam of a broken promise in the bay

[00:01:15] （dancing we wakened the dawn and the birds into chorus）

[00:01:18] He came again to see her

[00:01:19] Yes I think they told me it was saturday

[00:01:23] （ask penance crane she was out in her garden she saw us）

[00:01:26] I was at sea then

[00:01:28] I didnt see them

[00:01:30] I dont believe what you are saying

[00:01:31] It isnt true I hardly knew him

[00:01:35] Is this some game that you are playing

[00:01:39] Go ask the dancer shes the one who saw him last

[00:01:43] The one who drew him here

[00:01:45] He hasnt come to me since spring last year

[00:01:52] There was a time when he would

[00:01:54] Bring me silks and sandalwood and persian lace

[00:01:57] （then came another goodbye and another please dont go）

[00:02:00] And he would hold me close

[00:02:01] And tell my sailing stories by the fireplace

[00:02:02] （all night I dance and all day I keep watch with my sorrow）

[00:02:05] I was at sea I tell you I was

[00:02:07] Nowhere near the mentioned murder place

[00:02:08] （searching for sails that dont come

[00:02:10] And I guess but I dont know）

[00:02:11] Go ask the dancer

[00:02:12] She knows the answer

[00:02:15] I dont know

[00:02:16] She knows the answer

[00:02:18] I dont know

[00:02:20] She knows the answer

[00:02:23] I dont know
