[00:00.11]The Pirate Of Penance (Chelsea Recording) - Joni Mitchell
[00:00.86]Lyrics by：Joni Mitchell
[00:03.16]The pirate anchored on a Wednesday
[00:08.58]And why he came to port I wonder
[00:13.88]To see a lady so my friends say
[00:19.10]She dances for the sailors in a smoky cabaret bar underground
[00:24.56]Down in a cellar in a harbor town
[00:32.65]I know he told her love was treasure
[00:37.69]And they would reap the fullest bounty
[00:43.17]He only comes to port for pleasure
[00:47.92]So when the winds of morning blew the curtains in she woke
[00:50.30]And found he'd gone
[00:53.52]I saw his sails unfurling Thursday dawn
[01:01.00]The pirate he will sink you with a kiss
[01:02.45]He'll steal your heart and sail away
[01:06.25]He'll leave you drowning in the flotsam of a broken promise in the bay
[01:11.74]He came again to see her yes I think they told me it was Saturday
[01:16.33]I was at sea then I didn't see them
[01:25.52]I don't believe what you are saying
[01:30.88]It isn't true I hardly knew him
[01:36.01]Is this some game that you are playing
[01:40.84]Go ask the dancer she's the one who saw him last
[01:43.04]The one who drew him here
[01:46.57]He hasn't come to me since spring last year
[01:54.28]There was a time when he would
[01:55.38]Bring me silks and sandalwood and Persian lace
[01:59.78]And he would hold me close
[02:00.70]And tell my sailing stories by the fireplace
[02:05.20]I was at sea I tell you
[02:06.31]I was nowhere near the mentioned murder place
[02:09.94]Go ask the dancer she knows the answer
[02:17.96]She knows the answer
[02:23.17]She knows the answer
