The Scarlet Letter (Live From The Glass Isle)歌词完整版
The Autumn leaves lay on the ground
A brazen scarlet, bronze and brown
There was a stranger came to town.
He told us stories of the sea,
He sold us gifts of finery
He came and sat a while beside me.
Come all you tender maids
You fine unfettered wedded ladies.
Beware the lure of strangers,
The punishments that I've paraded.
Loveless may our unions be
These paths are not for us to lead
So sisters will you not take heed
And cleanse your souls and pray for me.
With my husband gone two years at sea
He gave not a thought, I'm sure, for me
And my mind inclined to wander restlessly.
The stranger took his leave from town
Some months before and so they found me
Heavy with this misbegotten child beneath my gown
I bear the letter on my chest
Stitched through the clothes in which I'm dressed
Ripped, carved and scarred into my breast
Oh my God I learned that day
Oh My God the costs we pay
Oh my God I learned that day
Before our Lord I'll burn they say.
