Brandy

Looking Glass


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, the sailor say

Chorus 1
   Brandy, you’re a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
   What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
   Yeah, 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 loved

He came, on a summer’s day
Bringin’ gifts, from far away
But he made it clear, he couldn’t stay
No harbor was his home, the sailor say

Chorus 2
   Brandy, you’re a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
   What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
   But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea

Bridge
   Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
   When he told his sailor stories
   She could feel the ocean fall and rise
   She saw its ragin’ 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, she hears him say
