Beeswing

In the style of

Nathan Carter

Lyrics

i was nineteen when
i came to town

they called it
the summer of love

they were burning babies
burning flags

the hawks against the doves

i took a job at the steamie
down on cauldrum street

fell in love with a laundry girl
that was workin' next to me

brown hair zig zagged
upon her face

and a look of half surprise

like a fox
caught in the headlights

there was animal in her eyes

oh she said young man
can't you see

i'm not the factory kind?

if you don't
take me out of here

i'll surely lose my mind

she was a rare thing
fine as a beeswing

so fine a breath of wind
might blow her away

she was a lost child
she was runnin' wild

she said as long as there's
no price on love i'll stay

and you wouldn't want me

any other way

we busked around
the market towns

pickin' fruit down in kent

we could tinker
lamps and pots

or knives wherever we went

i said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug

a fire burning in the hearth
and babies on the rug

she said oh man
you foolish man

that surely sounds like hell

you might be lord
of half the world

you'll not own me as well

she was a rare thing
fine as a beeswing

so fine a breath of wind
might blow her away

she was a lost child
she was runnin' wild

she said as long as there's
no price on love i'll stay

and you wouldn't want me

any other way

last i hear she's sleeping out
back on the derby beat

white horse in her hip pocket
and a wolfhound at her feet

they say
she even married once

to a man
named romany brown

but even a gypsy caravan

was too much settlin' down

they say her flower
is faded now

hard weather and hard booze

but maybe that's
the price you pay

for the chains that you refuse

she was a rare thing
fine as a beeswing

and i miss her more
than ever words could say

if i could just taste
all of her wildness now

if i could hold her
in my arms today

i wouldn't want her

any other way

she was a rare thing
fine as a beeswing

so fine a breath of wind
might blow her away

she was a lost child
she was runnin' wild

she said as long as there's
no price on love i'll stay

and you wouldn't want me

any other way

and you wouldn't want me

any other way
