hesitating beauty
Singer:billy bragg
for your sparkling cocky smile i've walked a million miles
begging you to come and wed me in the spring
what makes you laugh and turn away
you're a hesitating beauty
well i know that you are itching to get married
and i know how i'm twitching for the same thing
by the stars and clouds above
we could spend our lives in love
you're a hesitating beauty
we can build a house and home where the flowers come to bloom
i'll nail a fence so high
that the boys with peeping eyes
cannot see that angel face
well i know that you are itching to get married
and i know how i'm twitching for the same thing
by the stars and clouds above
we can spend our lives in love
if you quit your hesitating
we can ramble hand in hand across the grasses of our land
i'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree
we can bring our kids to play
where the dry leaves blow today
if you quit your hesitating
well i know that you are itching to get married
and i know how i'm twitching for the same thing
by the stars and clouds above
we could spend our lives in love
if you quit your hesitating
