Golden Loom (Studio Outtake - 1975)

Smoky autumn night 
Stars up in the sky
I see the sailin' boats 
Across the bay go by

Eucalyptus trees 
Hang above the street
And then I turn my head, 
For you're approachin' me

Moonlight on the water 
Fisherman's daughter
Floatin' in to my room
With a golden loom

First we wash our feet 
Near the immortal shrine
And then our shadows meet 
And then we drink the wine

I see the hungry clouds 
Up above your face
And then the tears roll down
What a bitter taste

Drifting away (you drift away)
On a summer day
Where the wildflowers bloom
With your golden loom

I walk across the bridge 
In the dismal light
Where all the cars are stripped 
Between the gates of night

I see the trembling lion 
With the lotus flower tail
And then I kiss your lips 
As I lift your veil

But then you're gone and then all 
I seem to recall 
Is the smell of perfume
And your golden loom
