Agnes

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