Little Feat - 1971
intro:
Matthew stood by the wall and watched his love below
Her pale hair came in golden rings down below her shoulders as she
waved and slowly turned around to find the path that led her to
the ancient gate was closed. She said, "Matthew,
why won't you tell me what it is you see?
Your smile so wide, this figured grin, you look as if,
You look as if, you're looking right through me, why won't you tell me
How it is you see through the darkness all around me?
No amulets or chains will work to keep the demons from
or hide the night-filled eyes from the Brides of Jesus
the Brides of Jesus, the Brides of Jesus, keep 'em over me.
piano solo:
Keep 'em over me, "Can't you see, on tender hooks,
and to be pleasure-bent," his voice, it scratched the air,
"may bring you so much sorrow that you may be entertaining angels
unawares."
