Fairport Convention - Part Viii слова песни
There`s a tiny little window and the sun comes shining throughDancing with the dust that`s in my cellThere`s a sparrow sitting on the sill and he stays for a minute or twoBut he`s frightened by the ringing of the bellThere`s a bed that I must lie on when at night I take my restAnd a chair for me to sit on through the dayThe men who wait beside me always know what`s bestFor a man who doesn`t have too much to sayThrow a laugh into the corner, blow a tear against the wallLearn a game to play, improve the mindConfess your sins, you sinner, and think how the seconds fallLeave all earthly cares and woes behindAnd when my short affair with life is ended and I`m goneWill you tell the world the story of John Lee?All you see is nothing and yet everything lives onI was born to pay the hangman`s fee
