From "Ladies of the Canyon" Intro: The lady called the blue boy "Love" She took him home Made himself an idol yes So he turned to a stone Like a pilgrim she traveled To place her flowers Before his granite grace And she prayed aloud for love To awaken in his face In his face oh__________ Sometimes in the evening He would read to her Roll her in his arms And give his seed to her She would wake in the morning Without him and go to the window And look out thru the pain But the statue in her garden He always looked the same He looked the same oh__________ Bring her boots of leather And she will dance for him Shyly from a feather fan She’ll glance for him Here he comes after midnight To find her again He will come a few times more Till he finds a lady statue Standing in a door In her door oh_________

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'histoire d'une femme qui idéalise un garçon qu'elle appelle "Amour". Elle le ramène chez elle, le transformant en une sorte d'idole, mais cet amour se fige, symbolisé par un statue de pierre. Les moments de tendresse qu'ils partagent sont teintés de mélancolie, car chaque matin, elle se réveille seule, contemplant cette figure immobile qui ne change jamais. Malgré les rencontres éphémères qu'il lui accorde, elle demeure prisonnière d’un amour figé, attendant désespérément la promesse d'une connexion plus vivante. C'est un tableau poignant de l'amour désireux mais inaccessé.
