her muddy hem

the air is heavy with rain,the busy market square
with people trying to survive on nothing to spare
my work stops like my heart,when you come along
the knings only daughter,no royal blood in her veins
a slender body of beauty,a wild strawberry mane
she gives everyone her smile,everyone but me
my eyes never leave you but you'll never see,
how a love so strong makes a man so weak
you float on the breeze,happy to simply be
her muddy hem and her smile are everything to me
just a simple man,my will to work and my name
with so many towns i've seen each one's the same
but here's where i like to call my home
ive watched them dance around in vain to favour you
like a cat with a mouse,a merry fable from a fool
but a sweet smile tom say that their cause is lost
my eyes never leave you but you'll never see,
how a love so strong makes a man so weak
you float on the breeze,happy to simply be
her muddy hem and her smile are everything to me
as the sun lowers from the sky,i watch as they leave
i turn to pack my things,your standing by me
you touch my lips with your hand just for you to say
my heart longs for you only,a pain that i've never known
you and i are worlds apart,but it's yours to own
no man will ever know my love,like you,and i will die alone
my eyes never leave you but you'll never see,
how a love so strong makes a man so weak
you float on the breeze,happy to simply be
her muddy hem and her smile are everything to me
