《Nine Thorny Thickets(Remastered 2017)》歌词

[00:00:00] Nine Thorny Thickets - Peggy Lee (佩吉·李)

[00:00:09] All this I was doing over a man

[00:00:17] In loneliness going across the bare moor

[00:00:25] And through the blind night in the pitch of the darkness

[00:00:32] Lost from the high road

[00:00:42] Through many ridged fields down slopes that were soggy

[00:00:51] Over stubble and furrow with stumble and sorrow

[00:01:03] Through nine thorny thickets by ruined old forts

[00:01:12] To the brow of the mountain

[00:01:21] And missing the bogs and their green habitation

[00:01:30] Whose hateful companions circled around me

[00:01:37] A fighter betrayed in the thick of the battle

[00:01:48] A girl in a jail

[00:01:55] A girl in a jail

[00:02:08] But worse than the fogs of all desolation

[00:02:16] Were the spirits of evil circling around me

[00:02:23] And my crossing and praying

[00:02:27] My charming and rhyme of little avail

[00:02:40] This took a long time but at last I looked up

[00:02:47] And there were the stars

[00:02:57] Like cherries they were

[00:03:03] In the orchard of night

[00:03:09] All yellow and red all shining and bright

[00:03:25] The sparks of the bonfired for seven dear saints

[00:03:30] The gems of the host and the harness of heaven

[00:03:35] The pickets of embers whose orbits are long

[00:03:39] And wind cannot take them

[00:03:46] Wind cannot take them

[00:03:55] I stopped in my tracks

[00:04:00] Look you I said

[00:04:04] This is over and done he has got to be told

[00:04:13] God forgive me the telling I'll travel no more

[00:04:21] To the door of his dwelling I'll travel no more

[00:04:29] Through any such goings nor blunt my good axe

[00:04:39] On the face of the stone
