letra de the merry dancer - abbey lincoln

[verse 1]
mama told me of a beauty that is made of purest gold
one the weather will not tarnish, one that never will grow old
she said beauty comes from understanding, looking at the things we see
beauty of the human spirit, beauty that will set us free

[verse 2]
in a house with shuttered windows lives a dancer tall and fair
like the rainbow’s many colors, crowned with scarlet purple hair
it’s been said the merry dancer has been never ever seen
that in the house there lives a wretched soul who’s old and mean
but the merry, merry dancer always makes its presence known
when you stand before the mirror in the secret of the throne

[tenor saxophone solo]

[verse 3]
there is a golden mirror on the temple wall
lighted, lighted by a candle, a candle shining through the hall
red and purple colors flaming with desire
dance before the mirror reflecting holy fire
dance, see the spirit, merry spirit, in the mirror standing there
when you stand before the mirror, you will see golden stair

[verse 4]
free from care and worry, images of grace
dance, dance before the mirror, whirl in time and sp-ce
whirl and shine and shimmer, purple, green and blue
dance before the mirror, aurora borealis hue
dance before the mirror, dance the night away
dance before the mirror ’til the light of day
[verse 5]
there is an ancient mirror made of purest gold
when you stand before the mirror you will see the dance unfold
when you stand before the mirror, see the dance, see the dance unfold
