《Dress Of Laces(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Dress Of Laces (LP版) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)

[00:00:14] And she has a dress of laces

[00:00:18] It's worn in many places

[00:00:22] The shoulder hangs upon her by a thread

[00:00:29] And she has a need for sharin'

[00:00:33] For someone warm and carin'

[00:00:37] And no one sees a heart that's underfed

[00:00:45] Young girl in love

[00:00:52] Young girl in tears

[00:00:59] She hasn't seen the man she loves in years

[00:01:09] And her mother is a waitress

[00:01:13] At the harbour bar good graces

[00:01:17] Where the seamen come a fishin' with their lines

[00:01:24] And it was one of them that caught her

[00:01:27] And left her with a daughter

[00:01:31] Who lives with hate and loving him in mind

[00:01:40] Young girl in love

[00:01:47] Young girl in tears

[00:01:53] She hasn't seen the man she loves in years

[00:02:04] So the young girl goes to the water

[00:02:07] And she calls out for her father

[00:02:11] But she ain't seen the old man in some time

[00:02:18] Yes and he was always boastin'

[00:02:22] Just a drinkin' and a toastin'

[00:02:26] One day he left his family far behind

[00:02:34] Young girl in love

[00:02:41] Young girl in tears

[00:02:48] She hasn't seen the man she loves in years

[00:02:58] So the mother comes home a drinkin'

[00:03:02] With a sailor who's a tinkin' out loud

[00:03:07] That he might stay with them awhile

[00:03:13] So she loads her mother's pistol

[00:03:16] And she shoots him as he whistles

[00:03:20] A song about a sailor's life in style

[00:03:29] Young girl in love

[00:03:36] Young girl in tears

[00:03:42] She kills the only man she's loved in years

[00:03:53] And with him dies her hopes her dreams her fears

[00:04:03] And she has a dress of laces

[00:04:07] It's worn in many places

[00:04:11] The shoulder hangs upon her by a thread

[00:04:18] And she has a need for sharin'

[00:04:21] For someone warm and carin'

[00:04:25] And no one sees a heart that's underfed

[00:04:32] And no one sees a heart that's underfed
