Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) (with lyrics)

LYRICS:

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there's a girl, in this harbor town
And she works, laying whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor
From the sea."

Brandy, wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the north of Spain
A locket, that bears the name
Of a man that Brandy loved

He came, on a summer's day
Bringing gifts, from far away
But he made it clear, he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

The sailors said "Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea."

Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw it's raging glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand

At night, when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man, who's not around
She still can hear him say, she hears him say

"Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea"

"Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea"

Just a lovely song. If you're only going to have 1 big hit...be like this. Something you will always be proud of. Those bands of the 60's-70's were good.

[alvindlee1]

this song doesn't need a video... the lyrics gives a your mind a chance too wonder off and imagine brandy walking to table to table pouring cold beers, and waiting for her sailor to come home from the sea. deep song.

A great ,deep soul-stirring song! Is this band still together? This is another of those songs that will

live as long as man can hear music! Thanks for uploading! Malcolm O'Brien

My guess is that Brandy was a fat chick. You guys know what I'm talking about.

I'm pretty sure this is one of the best songs ever.
