Says he loves you, but not too much.
Says he loves you, don't turn away.
It is foreign of me to ask questions,
but it's probably the reason that I ache
Like a poor old maid worked like a horse all day.
I'm a sinner, it's plainly seen,
That my heart is muddied, like the Thames of London.
Sail a smooth water, sail a smooth water
Sails smooth water, sail a smooth water I won't.
Christ I should have noticed, Christ I have nothing to say
Christ I should have noticed, But maybe it's best this way.
Cleave the scrub and till it,
Nature overcomes.
I'll wait a lonely lifetime
To find a man to call my own.
