Agnes

(album: Been Listening - 2010)

I've learned a little bit
I've lost an awful lot
I know ten thousand people and
The best of the best

I've forgot...

I can't remember you, though
I remember how we met
I fell a little graceless and
The pavement, oh, the pavement

Won the bet...

And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent

You were heaven, heaven
Spent...

St Agnes, put your hair down
Tell your man to go to bed
And steal a kiss from fortune's lips
Before you, before you

Lift your head...

And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent

You were heaven, heaven spent...

I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
Follow it through till it transcend your grave
I'll stick in the mix with your feathers and wings
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings

I've waited for you since though
I've only known you're near
And in my darkest hour
Well, I've had, oh, I've had

No need to fear...

And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent

You were heaven, heaven spent...

I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
Follow it through till it transcend your grave
I'll stick in the mix with your feathers and wings
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings
