Judy Collins - Holly Ann CAPO: 1st Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] She is a weaver Through her hands the bright thread travels Blue green water willows weeping silver stars [Verse 2] She sings and sighs as the shuttle flies Through the yarn like a Kerry dancer Pink and purple velvet red for a lover’s bed [Chorus] Living north of San Francisco With a man who built his house alone Living peaceful in the country The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home [Verse 3] She is a spinner In her hands the wooden wheel turns the wool around Then around again [Verse 4] A gypsy from Bolinas Sits and plays the mandolin Faces smile in the firelight of a foggy night [Chorus] Living north of San Francisco Sometimes it’s nice to be alone She says it’s peaceful where she is living The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home [Bridge] You can see the bridges of the city Hanging in the air by steel and stone She says it’s peaceful where she’s living The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home [Verse 5] She is a weaver Through her hands the bright thread travels Blue green water willows weeping silver stars [Verse 6] She is my sister The baby born when I was older Her hands are light her hair is bright as the summer sun [Chorus] Living north of San Francisco Sometimes it’s nice to be alone She says it’s peaceful in the country The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une femme qui tisse des fils colorés, symbolisant la beauté et la créativité de la vie. Elle vit paisiblement dans la nature, près de San Francisco, et apprécie les moments de solitude. Elle joue de la mandoline en étant enveloppée par la douceur des soirées brumeuses, entourée d'une ambiance chaleureuse. Ce personnage est également décrit comme une sœur, ajoutant une touche personnelle et intime à son histoire. L'éclat des lumières du Golden Gate représente un chemin vers la maison, offrant une sensation de sécurité et de retour aux sources.
