[00:00.00]Many A Fine Lady - Townes Van Zandt
[00:11.91]Well it's many a fine lady
[00:14.72]That's walked along beside me
[00:19.04]With their flesh made of velvet
[00:22.06]And their eyes made of rain
[00:26.56]Some tried to hold me
[00:29.41]To hurt me to hide me
[00:32.31]Some turned away
[00:36.17]Not to look back again
[00:41.20]One stood among them
[00:44.08]I remember most clearly
[00:48.42]Well her sorrows were heavy
[00:51.22]And her laughter was slow
[00:55.81]I courted her gently
[00:58.62]And I loved her most dearly
[01:03.20]I came her majestic reflection to know
[01:10.64]Her words like a mountain
[01:13.28]Stood lonely and lofty
[01:17.87]With her face like a daydream
[01:21.07]And her hair like the shawl
[01:25.72]Worn by a mourner
[01:28.37]As he steals away softly
[01:33.00]From those that would
[01:34.98]Have him mourn nothing at all
[01:40.54]Endlessly sorrow rode
[01:43.38]High on the north wind
[01:48.02]Slashing and slicing
[01:51.08]To take him his toll
[01:55.66]Endlessly creatures of darkness were cuttin
[02:02.99]Their paths through the walls
[02:05.65]That shelter the soul
[02:40.80]But no longer gypsy lie sadness unending
[02:48.39]Well her eyes they lay hollow
[02:52.23]And her face petrified
[02:55.71]Well the sun will go laughin'
[02:58.88]And others condemn him
[03:03.20]But who there among you
[03:06.20]Could have told her good-bye
[03:10.68]Well it's many a fine lady
[03:13.70]That's walked along beside me
[03:18.26]With their flesh made of velvet
[03:21.24]And their eyes made of rain
[03:25.98]Some tried to hold me
[03:29.06]To hurt me to hide me
[03:33.65]Some turned away not to look back again
[03:42.92]Some turned away not to look back again
