With a crooked smile and a heart-shaped face Comes from the west country where the birds sing bass She’s got a house-big heart where we all live And plead and council and forgive Her widow’s peak, her lips i’ve kissed Her glove of bones at her wrist That i have held in my hand Her […]
Just like a bird that sings up the sun In a dawn so very dark Such is my faith for you Such is my faith And all the world’s darkness can’t swallow up A single spark Such is my love for you Such is my love There is a kingdom There is a king And […]
