Bobbie Gentry - Courtyard lyrics

Said he'd build me a courtyard He promised he would And spend time in my courtyard Whenever he could In the corner, a tall tree So shady and cool And a white marble fountain In a clear sparkling pool A lovely stone courtyard With a lacy iron gate And a bountiful garden Where I could wait Yes, he built me a courtyard Like he promised he would And I know that he'd come to my side He would if he could Patterns on a courtyard floor Illusions of all I'm living for
