lyrics

Miner's Son

Oh, I see a miner's son come beat me from the bed I've won.
A foolish boy, a heartless child that holds his head up high.
Standing on the hearthrug, one sharp tug and then it's gone -
Like crockery on flagstones, oh, by now I guess I'm done.
And I'm done, yes I'm done, oh I'm done.
A miner's son, and I'm done, yes I'm done.

Bloodlust over breakfast while I'm pouring out the juice,
I see you out there in your lingerie, your hair all bright and loose.
In calico, in hessian, in gingham to my right,
While out there in the market place, they set their wears alight.
Let them shine, let them shine, let them shine.
You foolish child, let them shine, let them shine.

How strange the day has grown:
How clear the air, but dull the sky,
How far from morning we've flown.
I find myself again, hanging from a framework I've let rust and cannot mend.
