[00:00.000] 作词 : Richard Dawson[00:00.680] 作曲 : Richard Dawson[00:01.361] [Verse 1][00:54.808] She's fast asleep at Woden's feet[01:02.950] Whilst alms I seek from thronging fairfolk[01:12.512] As a whelp fast to the teat[01:19.622] She smote me then[01:25.841] We've ever since been shadows[01:34.540] Two beasts of one old soul[01:53.270][01:57.325] [Verse 2][02:14.264] If you rely on the kindness of strangers[02:22.244] It helps to have a hound for a handmaid[02:31.762] Not only for the superior nose[02:38.875] Or companionship[02:46.899] Often people stop to talk with me[02:54.226] Having never seen before such a very beautiful snow-coloured collie[03:06.751][03:08.858] [Verse 3][03:36.407] Working the fell - a most powerful eye[03:44.222] Part of the grass, fast as a lightning[03:53.674] Before the children were grown[04:00.622] They'd ride her like a pony[04:08.118] Through the nodding banners yesterday[04:15.709] She went in chase of a ship's rat[04:24.176] At my wit's end I finally located her[04:32.820] Under a whining bush, my poor old lady, seized by a fit[04:47.627][04:49.747] [Verse 4][05:04.963] When the raiders came in their flaming carriages[05:13.188] She went running to her family[05:22.023] While I listened on, cowering behind a pile of logs[05:40.124] There's no denying it[05:48.251][05:49.091] I sold my shoes so I could buy a chicken[05:57.212] A penance and a treat on her final day[06:05.355][06:06.082] Now she is gone I carry her down to the sea[06:14.320] And scream to the sinking stars[06:18.530] "Can you ever forgive me?"
