Lyrics Fairport Convention – Love At First Sight

Put down as a loner with a taste for things that feel
This darkness in her nature that could not be concealed
Affection for the phony kinds, longing for romance
She had a sense of hallowed ground, she joined a Morris Band

Deep down damnation drove her, she has to find that magic
She dressed herself in man’s attire, as long as it was white
Hid away her shape before hiding all the signs
Found a lonely village, wants to join the Morris Band

It was love at first sight (love at first sight)
To this vision in white (vision in white)
Come here, you heartbreaker
She’ll be mine

They came from east to west, within the village bounds
To find a spot to use to get ready for the round
She spoke a lot lower than she did the day before
A strange effect was on her as she danced across the floor

It was love at first sight (love at first sight)
To this vision in white (vision in white)
Come here, you heartbreaker
She’ll be mine

Thinking she’ll be Morris cool, underneath the stair
She has to make that conjure run, she would not kiss and tell
She felt a strange attraction for the way until they left
As he looked into her eyes, her secret was not kept

Oh, take me to the village, we can see the dancers there
Bringing in the steps you’ll know, there’s something in the air
So he told me I looked good, my looks have really turned the tide
Now they bring their kids along, another Morris side

It was love at first sight (love at first sight)
To this vision in white (vision in white)

So, true love at first sight (love at first sight)
To this vision in white (vision in white)
Come here, you heartbreaker
She’ll be mine, all mine
