lyrics

"My Black Bess"


If I mistook the way that you sometimes
look at me
Please don't worry and please don't run
because I'll shrink away
Oh I'll shrink away

I played our joys on the record player
waiting for the sun
I thought if I could be someone that you could
love me better, you could
love me better

So here I am on your doorstep
the unsure and unwelcome guest
you should say what's on your troubled mind
Oh honey, for you I've got plenty of time
honey, for you I've got plenty of time

I rode my horse past your window tonight
and I blew kisses from the back of my mind
oh if love was simple as a ray of light
honey, you'd be shining day or night
honey, you'd be shining day or night

So here I am on your doorstep
the unsure and unwelcome guest
you should say what's on your troubled mind
Oh honey, for you I've got plenty of time
honey, for you I've got plenty of time

I never knew which road was truer
to be the love or pursuer
I'd give my all but I'm often the loser
And I don't want to go
No, I don't want to go

So here I am on your doorstep
the unsure and unwelcome guest
you should say what's on your troubled mind
Oh honey, for you I've got plenty of time
honey, for you I've got plenty of time

Oh honey, for you I've got plenty of time.
