Ladies of the Canyon Lyrics


Trina wears her wampum beads
She fills her drawing book with line
Sewing lace on widow's weeds
And filigree on leaf and vineVine and leaf are filigree
And her coat's a second-hand one
Sewn in antique luxury
She is a lady of the canyonAnnie sits you down to eat
She always makes you welcome in
Cats and babies around her feet
And all are fat and none are thinNone are thin and all are fat
She may bake some brownies today
Saying you are welcome back
She is another canyon ladyEstrella, circus girl
Comes wrapped in songs and gypsy shawls
Songs like tiny hammers hurled
At beveled mirrors in empty hallsEmpty halls and beveled mirrors
Sailing seas and climbing banyans
Come out for a visit here

To be a lady of the canyonTrina takes her paints and thread
And weaves a pattern all her own
Annie bakes her cakes and breads
And gathers flowers for her homeFor her home she gathers flowers
And Estrella, dear companion
Colors up the sunshine hours
Pouring music down the canyonColoring the sunshine hours
They are the ladies of the canyon

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Annie Lennox is an Oscar, Brit and Grammy award-winning pop musician and vocalist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

After three years as lead singer of The Tourists, Lennox achieved her most notable fame as the alto, soul-tinged lead singer of the 1980s rock duo Eurythmics with British musician Dave Stewart. Early in the Eurythmics' career, she was known for her androgyny, wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis. Journalists often referred to her as "the white Grace Jones".

Her 1992 album Diva won critical praise and sold well, but her profile decreased for a period due to her desire to raise her two children outside of the media's glare, although she continued to be a major figure in popular music. Medusa - an album of covers in which Lennox tackled songs by everyone from Bob Marley to The Clash - was released three years after Diva, and also sold well. In 1997 she re-recorded the Eurythmics track "Angel" for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album. In 1998 - following the death of a mutual friend (former The Tourists leader singer/songwriter Peet Coombes) - she re-established contact with Dave Stewart and by 1999, Eurythmics had reformed for the album Peace. In 2003 she released her third solo album, Bare.

In 2003, Lennox was chosen to record "Into the West" for the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. This song won an Academy Award for Best Song in 2003.

In October 2007, Annie released her fourth solo album, Songs Of Mass Destruction.
