A Woman Like You Lyrics by Bert Jansch

Sketches

0

I don't believe I have seen
A woman like you anywhere
And I must admit that I can't see
Me making you into a dream
But if I had a magic wand to wave
I'd send a dove to catch your love
And I'd send a blackbird to steal your heart

But a broken heart won't cure
My endless search, little girl
I'm gonna fix a magic spell
To weave on you, little girl
L for the long grass to catch you in
O for the orange to sweeten sin
V for this very moment
E for thee

I'd rather wait and die
A thousand times, little girl
Than take a woman into
The heart of my soul
And if I caught you sleeping all unawares
I'd carry you off to my secret lair
There I'd bind your heart to my very soul

I don't believe I have seen
A woman like you anywhere
I must admit that I can't see
To making you into a dream
But if I had a magic wand to wave
I'd send a dove to catch your love
And I'd send a blackbird to steal your heart
