about

I wrote this in Israel at an Aroma café. I was just so inundated by the pretty girls that walked the streets there. Or maybe I was just away from the States. Nope- it was the black hair, olive skin and blue eyes. That's gotta be it.

lyrics

Pretty Girl
© Nathan Windsor 2011

As Solomon with a thousand wives
I’ve fallen in love a thousand times
The same beloved the same affair
With different eyes and shifting hair
Each cherry sweeter than the last
The lady upon whose eyes I cast
A thousand radiant-jeweled faces
Whose scent reminds me of the places
Travelled in my well-worn sandals
Fragrant roses, burning candles
The roads of Greece that lead to Rome
I place my queen upon the throne

Chorus:
I’ve found
I am drowned
By such beauty in this world
Who knows
Where one goes
Following a pretty girl

Puritans hear this confession
To say your mine is but possession
I’m not cynical or jaded
If love’s not free it must be traded
Do you have the strength my brother
When she’s fallen for another
To release the bird and let her sing
And wish her wind beneath her wings

Chorus

Bridge:
Love’s the thing
Arresting
All my heart, for

Each different girl, a different bride
With different love that beats inside
Iris blossoms I will bring her
Slip the ring upon her finger
And into the west we gallop
Sunset burning like a scallop
Navigate the changing courses
Riding on my band of horses.

Chorus
