[ti:L Ballade] [ar:Shawn Phillips] [al:The Best Of Shawn Phillips - The A&M Years] [by:] [offset:0] [00:01.36]In the consecrated chambers [00:04.86] [00:06.12]Of a mountain's winter day [00:10.64] [00:13.78]I left her at the turning [00:17.17] [00:18.50]To go on her seeking way [00:23.21] [00:26.26]To pass o'er meadows green and bare [00:30.60] [00:31.28]Or brown as her auburn hair [00:42.11] [00:43.34]O'er all the waters on the face of the earth [00:47.97] [00:48.70]To find that I really care [00:54.55] [01:23.12]And the myriad reflections of myself [01:27.03]In her buttons on her oversize navy coat [01:32.22] [01:35.73]But only reflections and never an image [01:40.05] [01:40.62]In her mind's unfathomable moat [01:44.61] [01:48.05]But some castles where she wanders [01:51.42] [01:52.56]Are yet crumbling into dust [02:03.88] [02:05.40]In this house of visions on top of the hill [02:09.49] [02:10.22]The glass has turned to rust [02:16.15] [03:53.98]So never again will I look in her eyes [03:58.76] [03:59.28]Nor shall she hear my voice [04:04.45] [04:06.86]But I hope she will find a better man [04:10.98] [04:11.90]To love him and rejoice [04:18.01] [04:19.61]And he will turn the secret key [04:23.26] [04:24.19]Nay I know it's not up to him [04:36.53] [04:37.42]But somehow in his words and love [04:42.00] [04:42.58]Answer her every whim [04:48.72] [05:18.17]So seek ye lass for what you wish [05:22.35] [05:23.41]But in your troubled heart [05:28.93] [05:31.10]And let not your mind race ahead of your breast [05:35.07] [05:36.03]For the quicker shall you part [05:42.11] [05:43.80]And wait for the click that you speak dear of [05:48.00] [05:48.84]And never will you run [06:00.92] [06:01.84]Light will splinter through open clouds [06:06.44]And you'll look straight at a face like the sun [06:13.87] [06:15.02]L Ballade - Shawn Phillips
