Albatross (信天翁) - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)
The lady comes to the gate

Dressed in lavender and leather
Looking North to the sea
She finds the weather fine
She hears the steeple bells ringing through the orchard
All the way from town
She watches seagulls fly
Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves
The edges of the sky

Many people wander up the hills
From all around you
Making up your memories

And thinking they have found you
They cover you with veils of wonder
As if you were a bride
Young men holding violets are curious

To know if you have cried
And tell you why
And ask you why
Any way your answer
Lace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies
Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family
The embroidery of your life holds you in
And keeps you out but you survive
Imprisoned in your bones
Behind the isinglass windows of your eyes
And in the night
The iron wheels rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea
And in the dark
The hard bells ringing with pain
Come away alone

Even now by the gate
With your long hair blowing
And the colors of the day
That lie along your arms
You must barter your life
To make sure you are living
And the crowd that has come

You give them the colors
And the bells and wind and the dream

Will there never be a prince
Who rides along the sea and the mountains
Scattering the sand and foam into amethyst fountains
Riding up the hills from the beach
In the long summer grass

Holding the sun in his hands
And shattering the isinglass

Day and night and day again
And people come and go away forever
While the shining summer sea dances
In the glass of your mirror
While you search the waves for love
And your visions for a sign
The knot of tears around your throat
Is crystallizing into your design
And in the night
The iron wheels rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea
And in the dark
The hard bells ringing with pain
Come away alone

Come away alone with me
