Looking Glass - Eric Andersen[00:00:00]

Written by：Eric Andersen[00:00:01]

In the cattails a maid did dwell[00:00:11]

She sang sweet songs but she loved as well[00:00:18]

She was a bit over five feet tall[00:00:27]

And she loved no man[00:00:34]

She loved no man[00:00:37]

In her bed many hours we lay[00:00:44]

While the north winds blow and the sparrows play[00:00:50]

And in my hand she placed a key[00:00:59]

Sayin' keep this my love[00:01:06]

Follow me[00:01:09]

So I swore for she knew me well[00:01:15]

I swore this love[00:01:22]

I'd never tell[00:01:25]

She said for me her soul she'd sell[00:01:30]

If she must walk[00:01:37]

The fires of hell[00:01:40]

Her hair it rushed and flowed so long[00:01:45]

On a silken pillow it[00:01:52]

Did belong[00:01:55]

Her eyes were yellow like the mornin' sun[00:02:00]

And they were singin' each one a song[00:02:07]

And her skin was dark[00:02:14]

Like a russet dawn[00:02:17]

Well in her hair would flow my tears[00:02:24]

Of my lonely days and my bitter years[00:02:31]

And on her breast my soul would sail[00:02:39]

And her mouth was as sweet[00:02:46]

Sweet as Ale[00:02:49]

She was to me a golden cup[00:02:55]

That poured me life for me to sup[00:03:02]

And in her heart was a lookin' glass[00:03:10]

And a sturdy ship[00:03:17]

With a highest mast[00:03:20]

For many days I did remain[00:03:25]

Until one day I forgot her name[00:03:32]

Then I knew I'd have to go[00:03:40]

From where the sparrows played[00:03:46]

And the north winds' blow[00:03:49]

But then one day by the cattail pond[00:03:54]

My love was dyin' and then she was gone[00:04:01]

I buried her where the green grass grows[00:04:09]

And there she slept[00:04:16]

'Til the winter snows[00:04:19]

So I sang my sorrow to the trees[00:04:26]

And they said go sing it to the breeze[00:04:33]

Well I knew this love no man could believe[00:04:40]

So I buried my sorrow my heart and my key[00:04:47]
