Judy Collins - Home Before Dark (from LP: Fires of Eden 1990) скачать видео бесплатно

Don't like the presently available youtube versions of this wonderfully melancholic song much, this one is my favourite, so uploaded it. Enjoy!

Judy Collins, Home before dark (LP: Fires of Eden 1990)

Packed up my bags,

Put in my favorite Levis.

Laid my mandoline beside the door.

Said to mama:

Chorus:

I won't be long,

Don't worry about me,

I'll be home before dark.

I'll be alright,

and you'll be fine without me.

I'll be home before dark.

Bought a ticket

To New York City,

One way out and no return.

I watched the sun go down

Across the plains from Denver

Lord, how the western sky can burn.

Met a boy in the darkness

Handsome, tall, and heartless.

Loved him like an eagle loves the wind

Till I heard him say:

(Chorus): I won't be long, ...

My daughter looks like him they say

To me she looks like mama,

I see an eagle shadow in her eyes

Last night, on her birthday,

We blew the candles out together

I wonder will she take me by surprise

When she says:

(Chorus): I won't be long...
