brobdingnagian bards – when she held me in her arms lyrics
through a market, i wandered and prayed
that i’d find me a woman i might marry some day.
well, i never dreamed when i prayed that prayer
that the woman i longed for was standing there.
when she held me in her arms that night,
i held her close, and i held her tight.
and i swore that day forth, i’d love her all of me
life.
when she held me in her arms that night.
she smelled of the sweetest lilac skin.
and i admit it now it drew me in
oh, her voice cast a spell i could not disobey.
every word was a river that swept me away.
oh, the market became a more beautiful place:
the flowers more fragrant, and the clothing all lace.
and her eyes, oh, her eyes! they begged me to stay
and twenty years later, i’ve not regretted a day.
