Looking Glass - 70s
x2 |
There's a port, on a western bay, |
And it serves, a hundred ships a day, |
Lonely sailors, pass the time away, |
And talk about their homes... |
And there's a girl, in this harbor town, |
And she works, layin' whiskey down, |
They say "Brandy, fetch another round", |
She serves them whiskey and wine... |
|
Brandy, wears a braided chain, |
Made of finest silver from the north of Spain, |
A locket, that bears the name, |
Of the man that Brandy loved... |
Well, He came, on a summer's day, |
Bringing gifts, from far away, |
But he made it clear, he couldn't stay, |
No harbor was his home... |
|
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes, |
When he told his sailor's stories, |
She could feel the ocean fall and rise, |
She saw its raging glory, |
But he had always told the truth, |
Lord, he was an honest man, |
And Brandy does her best to understand. |
At night, when the bars close down, |
Brandy walks through a silent town, |
And loves a man, who's not around, |
She still can hear him say |
soft, slow, minimal
