Richard Thompson Beeswing
I was nineteen when I came to town, they called it the Summer of Love They were burning babies, burning flags. The hawks against the doves I took a job in the steamie down on Cauldrum Street And I fell in love with a laundry girl who was working next to me Oh 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, oh 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 Brown hair zigzag around her face and a look of halfsurprise 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
