Nine Thorny Thickets - Peggy Lee

Nine Thorny Thickets LRC歌词

作词 : John H Mercer 作曲 : Rolfe Humphries All this I was doing over a man In loneliness going across the bare moor And through the blind night, in the pitch of the darkness Lost from the high road Through many riched fields Down slopes that were soggy Over stubble and furrow, with stumble and sorrow Through nine thorny thickets by ruined old forts To the brow of the mountain And missing the box and their green habitation Whose hateful companions circled around me A fighter betrayed in the thick of the battle A girl in a jail, a girl in a jail But worse than the fogs of all desolation Were the spirits of evil circling around mе And my crossing and praying, my charming and rhyme Of little avail This took a long time, but at last, I lookеd up And there were the stars Like cherries, they were, in the orchard of night All yellow and red, all shining and bright The sparks of the bonfires for seven dear saints The gems of the host and the harness of heaven The pickets of embers whose orbits are long And wind cannot take them Wind cannot take them I stopped in my tracks, "look you" I said This is over and done he has got to be told God forgive me the telling, I'll travel no more To the door of his dwelling, I'll travel no more Through any such goings, nor block my good acts On the face of the stone
