Looking Glass |
In the cattails, a maid did dwell |
She sang sweet songs but she loved as well |
She was a bit over five feet tall |
And she loved no man for she loved them all |
In her bed many hours we lay |
While the north winds blow and the sparrows play |
And in my hand she placed a key |
Sayin', «Keep this my love, follow me» |
So I swore, for she knew me well |
I swore this love, I’d never tell |
She said for me, her soul, she’d sell |
Even if she must walk the fires of hell |
Her hair it rushed and flowed so long |
On a silken pillow, it did belong |
Her eyes were yellow like the mornin' sun |
And they were singin' each one a song |
And her skin was dark like a russet dawn |
Well in her hair would flow my tears |
Of my lonely days, and my bitter years |
And on her breast, my soul would sail |
And her mouth was as sweet, sweet as ale |
She was to me a golden cup |
That poured me life, for me to sup |
And in her heart was a lookin' glass |
And a sturdy ship with a highest mast |
For many days, I did remain |
Until one day, I forgot her name |
Then I knew I’d have to go |
From where the sparrows played |
And the north winds' blow |
But then one day, by the cattail pond |
My love was dyin', and then she was gone |
I buried her where the green grass grows |
And there she slept 'til the winter snows |
So I sang my sorrow to the trees |
And they said, «Go sing it to the breeze» |
Well I knew this love no man could believe |
So I buried my sorrow, my heart and my key |
