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]
