A Woman Like You - Pentangle

I don’t believe I have seen

A woman like you anywhere

And I must admit that I can’t1 see

My making you into a dream

But if I had a magic wand to wave

I’d send a dove to catch your love

And I’d send a blackbird to steal your heart

And a broken heart won’t cure my endless search, little girl

I’m going to fix a magic spell to weave on you, little girl

L for the long grass to catch you in

O for the orange to sweeten sin

V for this very moment

E for thee2

I’d rather wait and die

A thousand times, little girl

Than take a woman into

The heart of my soul

And if I catch you sleeping all unawares3

I’ll carry you off to my secret lair

There I’ll bind your heart to my very soul

I don’t believe I have seen

A woman like you anywhere

And I must admit I can’t see

My making you into a dream

And if I had a magic wand to wave

I’d send a dove to catch your love

And I’d send a blackbird to steal your heart
