Roy Harper - Little Lady lyrics
[Roy Harper - Little Lady lyrics]
I once held a lantern of love in my hands
She was all I could see
Kicking the brown leaves of
Childhoold around us we danced the deep sea
That welled from the spring of
The boy that I was held in her flame
Feeling her learning, watching her burning
To see the first man I became
Little lady who made me
Was it you or is it that old unforgiveness
That I can't forget
I was her warchild and she was my wildcat
We lived in a dream
Woke up for summer unfolding the secret
And broke up downstream
Facing the current that said that we
Couldn't go on
Tearing the seed out with sharp
Tongues and no doubt before it was born
Little lady who made me
Was it you or is it that old unforgiveness
That I can't forget
Sometimes I cry in the flood of my guts
Laughing in sadness
Bursting with rage in the wounds of revenge
Bleeding forgiveness
It isn't you love or anything new
I just tasted
It's myself standing, watching me
Getting hung up spaced and wasted
Little lady who made me
Was it you or is it that old unforgiveness
That I can't forget that I can't forget
She was all I could see
Kicking the brown leaves of
Childhoold around us we danced the deep sea
That welled from the spring of
The boy that I was held in her flame
Feeling her learning, watching her burning
To see the first man I became
Little lady who made me
Was it you or is it that old unforgiveness
That I can't forget
I was her warchild and she was my wildcat
We lived in a dream
Woke up for summer unfolding the secret
And broke up downstream
Facing the current that said that we
Couldn't go on
Tearing the seed out with sharp
Tongues and no doubt before it was born
Little lady who made me
Was it you or is it that old unforgiveness
That I can't forget
Sometimes I cry in the flood of my guts
Laughing in sadness
Bursting with rage in the wounds of revenge
Bleeding forgiveness
It isn't you love or anything new
I just tasted
It's myself standing, watching me
Getting hung up spaced and wasted
Little lady who made me
Was it you or is it that old unforgiveness
That I can't forget that I can't forget
