[03:19.34][00:00.00]Lady Weeping At The Crossroads
[03:25.72][00:01.00]№№
[03:03.68][00:01.45]Lady, weeping at the crossroads,
[03:09.59][00:07.41]Would you meet your love
[00:13.38]In the twilight with his greyhounds,
[00:19.54]And the hawk on his glove?
[00:25.48]Bribe the bird then on the branches,
[00:31.52]Bribe them to be dumb,
[00:37.55]Stare the hot sun out of heaven
[00:43.65]That the night may come.
[00:49.68]Starless are the nights of travel,
[00:53.39]Bleak the winter wind;
[00:55.90]Run with terror all before you
[00:59.20]And regret behind.
[01:01.88]Run until you hear the ocean's
[01:05.24]Everlasting cry;
[01:07.79]Deep though it may be and bitter
[01:11.22]You must drink it dry,
[01:15.61]Dring it dry
[01:20.30]Wear out patience in the lowest
[01:26.30]Dungeons of the sea,
[01:32.30]Searching through the stranded shipwrecks
[01:38.43]For the golden key,
[01:44.41]Push on to the world's end, pay the
[01:50.45]Dread guard with a kiss
[01:56.42]Cross the rotten bridge that totters
[02:02.64]Over the abyss.
[02:08.73]There stands the deserted castle
[02:12.13]Ready to explore;
[02:14.03]Enter, climb the marble staircase,
[02:18.29]Open the locked door.
[02:20.89]Cross the silent empty ballroom
[02:24.10]Doubt and danger past;
[02:26.19]Blow the cobwebs from the mirror,
[02:33.55][02:30.11]See yourself at last.
[02:39.26]Put your hand behind the wainscot,
[02:45.11]You have done your part;
[02:51.13]Find the penknife there and plunge it
[02:57.39]Into your false heart
