[ti:Looking Glass] [ar:Eric Andersen] [al:The Best Of] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Looking Glass - Eric Andersen [00:11.35]In the cattails a maid did well [00:18.56]She sang sweet songs but she loved as well [00:27.54]She was a bit over five feet tall [00:34.76]And she loved no man for she loved them all [00:44.06]In her bed many hours we lay [00:50.84]While the north winds blow and the sparrows play [00:59.18]And in my hand she placed a key [01:06.25]Saying "Keep this my love follow me" [01:15.30]So I swore for she knew me well [01:21.85]I swore this love I'd never tell [01:30.21]She said for me her soul she'd sell [01:37.00]Even if she must walk the fires of hell [01:45.43]Her hair it rushed and flowed so long [01:52.23]On a silken pillow it did belong [02:00.72]Her eyes were yellow like the morning sun [02:07.53]And they were singing each one a song [02:14.35]And her skin was dark like a russet dawn [02:24.16]Well in her hair would flow my tears [02:31.14]Of my lonely days and my bitter years [02:39.16]And on her breast my soul would sail [02:45.88]And her mouth was sweet sweet as ale [02:55.57]She was to me a golden cup [03:02.40]That poured me life for me to sup [03:10.35]And in her heart was a looking glass [03:17.32]And a sturdy ship with a highest mast [03:25.63]For many days I did remain [03:32.27]Until one day I forgot her name [03:39.93]Then I knew I'd have to go [03:46.86]From where the sparrows played [03:48.98]And the north winds blow [03:54.72]But then one day by the cattail pond [04:01.68]My love was dying and then she was gone [04:09.31]I buried her where the green grass grows [04:16.32]And there she slept till the winter snows [04:26.32]So I sang my sorrow to the trees [04:33.21]And they said "Go sing it to the breeze" [04:40.84]Well I knew this love no man could believe [04:47.49]So I buried my sorrow my heart and my key
