Al Kooper - Another Man's Prize lyrics

rate me

Sand in the heat and the sun in her hair

Ocean at her feet

There was no one else there

And I silently wept as she turned me away

The tears on my face ?

Salt-water, I prayed...

Daughter of a banker with the green in her blood

And me such a failure - just a poor fool in love

Recommendations;

Everyone said:

“You’ve just one thing in common,

You’re both out of your heads”

How could I be with ANOTHER MAN’S PRIZE?

How could I possibly rationalize ?

Blinded by beauty in a web spun full of lies

She was not my possession

But ANOTHER MAN’S PRIZE

He was born into high stock of privilige and class

And there but for fortune still I never will pass

But he took for granted what I treasured for life

And all his trappings and riches

Nearly cost him his wife

He couldn’t tell she was ANOTHER MAN’S PRIZE

She just slipped through his fingers

“neath the glaze in his eyes

And as I was about to reach that very highest of highs

It was my miscalculation

Cause she was ANOTHER MAN’S PRIZE

The worst feeling on earth is to know you’ve been used

‘Specially after that moment when two bodies are fused

When you build a false heaven - you’ve the devil to pay

And now that I know how I wound up this way

How could I be with ANOTHER MAN’S PRIZE?

How could I possibly rationalize ?

Blinded by beauty in a web spun full of lies

She was not my possession

But ANOTHER MAN’S PRIZE

She was not my possession

But ANOTHER MAN’S PRIZE
