[Intro]
I've learned a little bit
I've lost an awful lot
I know ten thousand people and
The best of the best
I've forgot...
[Verse 1]
I can't remember you, though
I remember how we met
I fell a little graceless and
The pavement, oh, the pavement
Won the bet...
[Chorus]
And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent
You were heaven, heaven
Spent...
[Verse 2]
St Agnes, put your hair down
Tell your man to go to bed
And steal a kiss from fortune's lips
Before you, before you
Lift your head...
[Chorus]
And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent
You were heaven, heaven spent...
[Bridge]
I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
Follow it through till it transcend your grave
I'll stick in the mix with your feathers and wings
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings
[Verse 3]
I've waited for you since though
I've only known you're near
And in my darkest hour
Well, I've had, oh, I've had
No need to fear...
[Chorus]
And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent
You were heaven, heaven spent...
[Bridge]
I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
Follow it through till it transcend your grave
I'll stick in the mix with your feathers and wings
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings
