[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
