Ballad of Geraldine

歌詞

I was born with the name Geraldine With hair coal black as a raven I travelled my life without a care Ah but all my love I was savin' Oh the winds blew high and the trees did sway Not much from life was I askin' Till I met someone to give all my love All my love so long an'lasting Oh good were the parts we played in our game And a long ways off was tomorrow But my love was a rambler and restless as the sea And in the tide came sorrow Oh a child of the night is goin' to be born I can't explain my confusion Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin' I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room My friends they're smokin' and a-talkin' But it all seems so empty my love is not there So I'll go into the streets a walkin My baby is a-growin' as a-growin' it must If I were to lose it it would grieve me My love is so helpless and I'm wonderin' what to do Oh how I yearn to help him Oh we could go to the land of your choice Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door I've a feeling in my heart and it's crushing all my hopes I think I'm gonna be hurt some more <♪> I was born with the name Geraldine With hair coal black as a raven I travelled my life without a care Ah but all my love I was savin'
