There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean foam rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say

She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

Sittin’ by the open fire place
In my favorite dungarees
Played a few bars of a melody
And it sounded sweet to me

I thought I’d get up and take a look around
But my feet got in the way
Stumbled to the floor, she was right in the door
I could see her face

But how could it be
She ran away from me
My best friend’s gone
I’m so all alone

I kinda miss you, Brandy
I’m so all alone
When are you comin’ back home
I really miss you, Brandy
Missin’ you every day
Are you comin’ home to stay

‘Cause I love you, Brandy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sipping on a cherry soda pop
Building houses made of sand
Like a little child with a fantasy
Just a fraction of a man

But I was in love when they put her down
On my doorstep in the rain
I could feel the love comin’ to my heart
Through my window pane

But how could I know
She would just up and go
My best friend gone
I’m so all alone

I really miss you, Brandy
I’m so all alone
When are you comin’ back home
I really miss you, Brandy
Missin’ you every day
Are you comin’ home to stay

I kinda miss you, Brandy
When are you comin’ back home
I’m so all alone
I really miss you, Brandy
Missin’ you every day
Are you comin’ home to stay

Oh, I really miss you, Brandy
I’m so all alone
When are you comin’ back home
Oh, I really miss you, Brandy
Missin’ you every day
Are you comin’ home to stay

I really miss you, oh, Brandy
When are you comin’ back home
I’m so all alone
I really miss you
 
Looking Glass was yet another example of a hard rockin' band that got fatally pigeon-holed by an unexpected soft (and classic) pop hit. (See the group Extreme, and "More Than Words.")

Their lone other hit was the similar-sounding follow-up, "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne" -->
