Looking glass

Looking glass Lyrics

Theres a port on a western bay

And it serves a hundred ships a day

Lonely sailors pass the time a way

And talk about their homes


Theres a girl in this harbor town

And she works laying whiskey down

They say Brandy, fetch another round

She serves them whisky and wine

The sailors say...



Chorus: Brandy, you're a fine girl



What a good wife you would be




Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea




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 loves

He came on a summers day - bearing gifts - from far away

But he made it clear he couldnt stay

The harbor was his home


- Chorus -



Bridge: Brandy used to watch his eyes

As he told his sailor 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 slient town

And loves a man who's not around

She still can hear him say

She hears him say...
