  • one of my favorite Townes Van Zandt songs... brilliant writer, tortured man.
    My lover comes to me with a rose on her bosom
    The moon's dancin' purple
    All through her black hair
    And a ladies-in-waiting she stands 'neath my window
    And the sun will rise soon on the false and the fair
    She tells me she comes from my mother the mountain
    Her skin fits her tightly
    And her lips do not lie
    She silently slips from her throat a medallion
    Slowly she twirls it in front of my eyes
    I watch her, I love her, I long for to touch her
    The satin she's wearin'
    Is shimmering blue
    Outside my window her ladies are sleeping
    My dogs have gone hunting
    The howling is through
    So I reach for her hand and her eyes turns to poison
    And her hair turns to splinters,
    And her flesh turns to brine
    She leaps cross the room, she stands in the window
    And screams that my first-born
    Will surely be blind
    She throws herself out to the black of the nightfall
    She's parted her lips
    But she makes not a sound
    I fly down the stairway, and I run to the garden
    No trace of my true love
    Is there to be found
    So walk these hills lightly, and watch who you're lovin'
    By mother the mountain
    I swear that it's true
    Love not a woman with hair black as midnight
    And her dress made of satin
    All shimmering blue

    Keturah you are the one in youtube who can touch my spirit with a way that i can't explain but this felling is different that i feel from other style of musics.I wish you will be famous soon.I will definitely pray for it.This voice should reach more and more people.Maybe this voice will change a lot of people's life in a good way. btw GREETINGS FROM TURKEY.. :D

  • @rsshapiro
    @rsshapiro 13 лет назад +1

    What an amazing find! It is a challenge to take a song so personal and unique to a writer like Townes and make it your own. The slight chord changes beautifully compliment your voice. Only 1,623 views?? I am glad I got to find you on You Tube before you become the next great discovered talent which you surely will do! Best of luck.

      "Singing Too too loo ral" is the van zandt lyrics
      Too ra loo raal is an old Irish hyme or something made famous by bing Crosby (later by dexys midnight runners but that was after Van Zandts out mother the mountain I believe the first recorded versions of too ra loo raal was in 1915 ish)
