Альбом Marianne Faithfull

I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover
And the time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover

He's been gone so long when he left the show was deep upon the ground
And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting�s almost over
But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from Dover

My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the home place
My daddy if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover

I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me
He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me
He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this so long, oh he'll be coming down from Dover

My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
Out baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still I hear no cryin'
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her
And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover

The most tender place in my heart is for strangers
I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time

Compared to some I've been around
But I really tried so hard
That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

In the end I was the mean girl
Or somebody's in-between girl
How it's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real love

I leave the party at 3 am
Alone, thank God
With a valium from the bride
It's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real love
And that's as real as true love

That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

In my solitude you haunt me
With memories of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude, I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude, I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send me back my love

And under the boughs unbowed
All holding a snowy shroud
She had no heart, so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed

Each feather, it fell from skin
'Til threadbare and she grew thin
How were my eyes so blinded?
Each feather, it fell from skin

And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low

A gray sky with bitter skin
A rain cloud would rain on me
All out behind horizon, oh
A gray sky of bitter skin

And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low

And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low

And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low

And I will hang my head
Hang my head low
And I will hang my head
Hang my head low

And under the boughs unbowed
All holding a snowy shroud
She had no heart, so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed

Some folks they're always crying
Crying their mean old blues
No me, you never even see me frown.
Some folks just walk around tryin'
Tryin' hard love to loose,
But I felt it come the better let it burn
I'm the happiest gal in the town

Easy come easy go
Nothing ever worries me,
Care for none, eyes of stone
Don't know misery.

If my man be trouble, or if he don't
I'll get someone to love me anytime you want

Easy come easy go
Right from my head to my shoes
Don't wanna be no skinny vamp or nothing like that
Daddy always knows just where his sweet Mama's at
I'm overflowin' with those easy come, easy go blues.

He swallow me up, when he's lovin' ; hear what I've said
Believe me I go out to lick him 'most everyday
I'm overflowin' with those easy come, easy go blues.

Our chemical devotions of the night
Bring endless labyrinths of vines to light
Your silent spell won't bring you home tonight
You couldn't open up your veins to light

All that blossoms, all that blooms
Lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight
All that blossoms, all that blooms
Lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight

Our chemical devotions of the night
Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice
Children of stone your crystal cages align
Crown of creation bring me into the light

All that blossoms, all that blooms
Lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight
All that blossoms, all that blooms
Lies fallow in the night
Waits for a golden sunlight

Our chemical devotions of the night
Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice
Children of stone your crystal cages align
Crown of creation bring me into the light

All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night,
Waits for the golden sunlight.
All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night,
Waits for a golden sunlight.

Our love is gone
You're left alone
What can you do
When love is outside of you?

Ooo, la-la-la-la
Ooo, la-la-la-la

I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
And in the game, I lost you
What a price to pay
I'm crying

Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby

Sorry
Let me come home and love you
Though it's hard to do
Though it's hard to do
What can I do?

Mistakes
I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes, too
I'm crying

Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby

Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, I love you
Ooo, baby, baby, baby, baby, I need you
Ooo, baby, baby, baby, baby, what can I do
Ooo, baby, baby, baby, baby, to make it up to you

Baby baby, the hurt keeps getting stronger
Can't hold out much longer
Baby baby, the hurt keeps getting stronger
Can't hold out much longer

Stronger, the hurt keeps getting stronger
Stronger, can't hold out much longer
Stronger, the hurt keeps getting stronger
Stronger, I can't hold out much longer

Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah

I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope
'Cause I feel that one day, I'll hold you near
Whisper, "I still love you"
Until that day is here

Until that day is here
I'm crying

Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
"Let my guitar playing friend do my request."

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Oh please take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I remember Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
They came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers "There's a song my mama sang.
Won't you sing it once before I move along?"

Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Please take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

Won't you sing me back home before I die

I am walking through Rome with my heart on a string
Dear God, please help me
And I'm so very tired of doing the right thing
Dear God, please help me

There are explosive kegs between my legs
Dear God, please help me
Will you follow and know me more than you do?
Track me down and try to win me

Then he motions to me with his hand on my knee
Dear God, did this kind of this thing happen to you?
Now I'm spreading my legs with his in between
Dear God, if I could, I would help you

And now I am walking through Rome and there is no room to move
But the heart, the heart feels free

The heart feels free
The heart feels free
But the heart feels free
The heart feels free
