all my love's laughter

Dedicated to all the extraordinary women venturing out of their little blog cabins in the vale from time to time and visit the sketchbook.

A wonderful song just for you, written by Jimmy Webb, and performed by Art Garfunkel.



All My Love's Laughter
All my love's faces
She comes in the morning
Her cloak in her arms
She's following after
The King of all Places
And your tenderest warnin'
Could bruise all her charm

But don't lose your heart
To that beautiful sinner
Who walks without shining a light
She stands in the shade
And the sun is there in her
But you'll never know til it's night

All my love's softness,
All my love's graces
She carries all things
In her tiny white glove
She hides all her lostness
In satins and laces
And everyone says
She's searching for true love

But don't try to hold on
To Satan's proud lady
Who stands with her flock
all alone on the hill
Her stockings are hung
And her eyes are so shady
She's winning, and you never will.

I haven't heard this beautiful song in ages, Phil. I love the line "she hides all her lostness in satins and laces". Sigh. Now, back to my little blog cabin...

I'm always glad to wander into the vagabond's sketchbook. Thank you Phil! :)
