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.
