Venus in the Tower (©2007 C. Rothschild) |
Late at night
Chorus:
The mountain's heights have been the delight
But I sing this song not for the strong
Chorus
Char - accordion, trumpet, vocals.
Full to swoon November moon
Looking for the tune to sing you
Try as I might, it won't come right
I guess we're gonna have to bring you
To the mountain
No peace in sight
Looking for the cloth to bind you
Try for a while, but then I smile
Remembering the day we found you
Up on the mountain
Aphrodite in the bower, the eight petaled flower
They made you by design
Every minute, every hour
I feel that mighty power
It's changing all the time
Venus in the Tower, the seven petaled flower
They made you by design
Every minute, every hour
I feel that mighty power
It's changing all the time
Of many a mighty soldier
Joan of Arc, I might remark,
Had the strength of every rock and boulder
Up on the mountain
They never need a long reminder
We will name that peak for the ones who are weak
For they will be the ones who will find her
Up on the mountain
Robby - cajón, backing vocals.
Jon - bass.
