letra de gloria - the trials of cato

Loading...

sixteen and at the seam
well there were headlamps, canary dreams
i was apprenticed to a charcoal art
as i waited for my life to start

and they said black blood flowed through my veins
yet in the pit all i knew was pain
those blasted chambers were choking me
and only gloria could set me free

but then a woman i chanced to meet
and i felt the coal move beneath my feet
and in the mirror i did stare
at gloria with the short brown hair

[bridge]
she said “what’s to come is way past overdue”
and it’s then i knew what i was born to do

[chorus]
and as she moved through the county fair
not a man in sight could help but stare
so she left them there
watching and waiting
for the sound of a woman’s voice
with a look in her eye gave them no choice
so she left them there
watching and waiting for the sound

i leave behind a miner’s life
i’ll say no prayers i’ll take no wife
i’ll busk my way down to camden town
for it’s there a queen can find her crown

and then one evening she comes around
we tear our way o’er right through the town
and through the sherry wine and smoky haze
oh gloria shows me a woman’s ways

[bridge]
so i dress myself as best as i can
and ne’er forget that i was born a man

[chorus]
and as she moved through the county fair
not a man in sight could help but stare
so she left them there
watching and waiting
for the sound of a woman’s voice
but the look in her eye gave them no choice
so she left them there
watching and waiting for the sound

find myself in soho bars
in a world of ashtrays and old guitars
and there were those who say that it trangressed
and there were those who saw behind the dress

now i clad myself in finery
i sing my song o’ for all to see
and all the people how they did stare
at gloria with the short brown hair

[bridge]
so i dressed myself as best as i can
and ne’er forget that i was born a man

[chorus]
and as she moved through the county fair
not a man in sight could help but stare
so she left them there
watching and waiting
for the sound of a woman’s voice
but the look in her eye gave them no choice
so she left them there
watching and waiting for the sound

and as she moved through the county fair
not a man in sight could help but stare
so she left them there
watching and waiting
for the sound of a woman’s voice
but the look in her eyes gave them no choice
so she left them there
watching and waiting for the sound
