Albatross - Judy Collins[00:00:00]
The lady comes to the gate dressed in lavender and leather[00:00:13]
Looking north to the sea she finds the weather fine[00:00:22]
She hears the steeple bells ringing through the orchard[00:00:30]
All the way from town[00:00:35]
She watches seagulls fly[00:00:40]
Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves[00:00:43]
The edges of the sky[00:00:48]
Many people wander up the hills[00:00:55]
From all around you[00:00:57]
Making up your memories and thinking they have found you[00:01:00]
They cover you with veils of wonder as if you were a bride[00:01:05]
Young men holding violets are curious to know if you have cried[00:01:10]
And tell you why[00:01:15]
And ask you why[00:01:16]
Any way you answer[00:01:18]
Lace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies[00:01:23]
Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family[00:01:27]
The embroid'ry of your life holds you in[00:01:32]
And keeps you out but you survive[00:01:34]
Imprisoned in your bones[00:01:37]
Behind the isinglass windows of your eyes[00:01:39]
And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain[00:01:45]
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea[00:01:52]
And in the night the hard bells ringing with pain[00:01:59]
Come away alone[00:02:06]
Even now by the gate with you long hair blowing[00:02:28]
And the colors of the day that lie along your arms[00:02:35]
You must barter your life to make sure you are living[00:02:41]
And the crowd that has come[00:02:48]
You give them the colors[00:02:51]
And the bells and wind and the dream[00:02:54]
Will there never be a prince[00:03:02]
Who rides along the sea and the mountains[00:03:04]
Scattering the sand and foam into amethyst fountains[00:03:08]
Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass[00:03:13]
Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglass[00:03:18]
Day and night and day again and people come and go away forever[00:03:25]
While the shining summer sea dances in the glass of your mirror[00:03:30]
While you search the waves for love and your visions for a sign[00:03:35]
The knot of tears around your throat is crystallizing into your design[00:03:41]
And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain[00:03:49]
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea[00:03:56]
And in the night the hard bells ringing with pain[00:04:03]
Come away alone[00:04:10]
Come away alone[00:04:26]
With me[00:04:40]
