jesse winchester - gilding the lily lyrics
a bolt of pure silk from a chinaman’s loom
i know you’ll be pleased but really
all the silk in the world on you little girl
would simply be gild on the lily
oh, all of my gifts pale as i give them to you
oh, just give me time, surely there’s something will do
and i’m gonna bring it to you
an african diamond as blue as their skies
i know that will please you but really
the man had no diamond as blue as your eyes
and it would be gild on the lily
oh, all of my gifts pale as i give them to you
oh, just give me time, surely there’s something will do
and i’m gonna bring it to you
oh, all of my gifts pale as i give them to you
oh, just give me time, surely there’s something will do
and i’m gonna bring it to you
i wish i could give you what’s locked in my heart
i know that would please you but really
i mislaid the key a long time ago
and it would be gild on the lily
oh, all of my gifts pale as i give them to you
oh, just give me time, surely there’s something will do
and i’m gonna give it to you
oh, all of my gifts pale as i give them to you
oh, just give me time, surely there’s something will do
and i’m gonna bring it to you
