Ladies Of The Canyon Lyrics

Trina wears her wampum beads

She fills her drawing book with line

Sewing lace on widow's weeds

And filigree on leaf and vine



Vine and leaf are filigree

And her coat's a second-hand one

Sewn in antique luxury

She is a lady of the canyon



Annie sits you down to eat

She always makes you welcome in

Cats and babies around her feet

And all are fat and none are thin



None are thin and all are fat

She may bake some brownies today

Saying you are welcome back

She is another canyon lady



Estrella, circus girl

[ Annie Lennox Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Comes wrapped in songs and gypsy shawls

Songs like tiny hammers hurled

At beveled mirrors in empty halls



Empty halls and beveled mirrors

Sailing seas and climbing banyans

Come out for a visit here

To be a lady of the canyon



Trina takes her paints and thread

And weaves a pattern all her own

Annie bakes her cakes and breads

And gathers flowers for her home



For her home she gathers flowers

And Estrella, dear companion

Colors up the sunshine hours

Pouring music down the canyon



Coloring the sunshine hours

They are the ladies of the canyon
