letra de beeswing - roy bailey
[verse 1]
i was nineteen when i came to town
they called it the summer of love
burning babies, burning flags
the hawks against the doves
and i took a job in the steamie
down on cauldrum street
fell in love with a laundry girl
was working next to me
[chorus]
she was a rare thing
fine as a bee’s wing
so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
she was a lost child
she was running wild
she said, “as long as there’s no price on love, i’ll stay
and you wouldn’t want me any other way”
[verse 2]
brown hair zig-zag around her face
and a look of half-surprise
like a fox caught in the headlights
there was animal in her eyes
she said, “young man, oh 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”
[chorus]
she was a rare thing
fine as a bee’s wing
so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
she was a lost child
she was running wild
she said, “as long as there’s no price on love, i’ll stay
and you wouldn’t want me any other way”
[guitar solo]
[verse 3]
we busked around the market towns
we picked fruit down in kent
we could tinker pots and pans
and knives wherever we went
and i said that we might settle down
and get a few acres dug
fire burning in the hearth
and babies on the rug
she said, “young man, you’re a foolish man
that surely sounds like h-ll
you might be lord of half the world
but you’ll not own me as well”
[chorus]
she was a rare thing
fine as a bee’s wing
so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
she was a lost child
she was running wild
she said, “as long as there’s no price on love, i’ll stay
and you wouldn’t want me any other way”
[verse 4]
we were camping down the gower one time
the work was pretty good
she thought we shouldn’t wait for the frost
i thought maybe we should
we were drinking more in those days
and our tempers reached a pitch
and like a fool i let her run
with the rambling itch
[chorus]
she was a rare thing
fine as a bee’s wing
so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
she was a lost child
she was running wild
she said, “as long as there’s no price on love, i’ll stay
and you wouldn’t want me any other way”
[verse 5]
last year i heard she was sleeping out
down on the derby beat
white horse in her hip pocket
and a wolfhound at her feet
and they say she even married one time
a man named romany brown
but even a gypsy caravan
was too much settling down
[chorus]
she was a rare thing
fine as a bee’s wing
so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
she was a lost child
she was running wild
she said, “as long as there’s no price on love, i’ll stay
and you wouldn’t want me any other way”
[verse 6]
they say her flower is faded now
hard weather and hard booze
maybe that’s just the price you pay
for the chains you refuse
[chorus]
she was a rare thing
fine as a bee’s wing
and i miss her more than any words can say
if i could just taste
all of her wildness now
if i could hold her in my arms today
and i wouldn’t want her any other way
she was a rare thing
fine as a bee’s wing
so fine a breath of wind might blow her away
she was a lost child
she was running wild
she said, “as long as there’s no price on love, i’ll stay
and you wouldn’t want me any other way”
