preciosa - davy lyons lyrics

Loading...

preciosa waits in the wind, she’ll wait there all day and all night
´till some man simply p-ssing through is beckoned by her beams of light

she’ll take him to the river and lay down right by its edge
here to the song of the cricket, here to the call of the sedge

her dark hair gleams in the sunlight, gleams by light of the moon
she sings of some ancient sorrow wrapped up in an old folk tune

o won’t you come with me, my darling one, come with me a while?
come with me, my little darling one, if only for tonight

the leaves of the ash and willow stay silent next to the sh0r-
they’ve witnessed preciosa, yes, they’ve seen all this before

they’ve seen some man who is p-ssing hear her sing and watch her smile
bewildered by her dark beauty, without the will to decline

no man was said to resist her, certain i didn’t buck the trend
when we met and cool she told me “i’m not your lover or friend”

on the thirty-first of august, i did have some place to go
but preciosa took my hand, there was no place else to go

o won’t you come with me, my darling one, come with me a while?
come with me, my little darling one, if only for tonight

we walked through thicket of bramble, had threads sn-tched by pr-ckly th-rns
of blackberry and wine berry and tall yellow-blooming gorse

i lost a few from the jacket of my black second-hand suit
she lost one from the petticoat, the hem starched with wild black fruit

i felt the expectation of a man who’s on a promise
whether with fine sweet fat margot or that round sweet throat goddess

o won’t you come with me, my darling one, come with me a while?
come with me, my little darling one, if only for tonight

the sun went down, the moon came out, we reached the wide river’s edge
somewhere the song of the cricket, somewhere the call of the sedge

onto a bed of gr-ss and sand we quickly fell together
i ripped away her satin dress and threw it to the heather

my suit came off at a hat’s drop, between us there was nothing
our bodies moved as freely as the wild waters were running

her hips they slipped away from me like two little silver trout
and then the vice grip of her thighs held me tight from toe to snout

for sure we gave the best we could, mouth-to-mouth and limb-to-limb
exchanging blows and manoeuvres, kiss for kiss and pin for pin

the night flamed now with windy fire, her dress blew hooked on the hedge
down the river beasts were howling, they drowned out cricket and sedge

and as our bodies burned to ash smoke in the air did billow
i will tell you that, for more, i guess, go ask the ash and willow…..

i had no wish to fall for her, as if it were up to me
i had no wish to be her friend, it was one night, we were free

with sandy lips and gr-ssy knees at the dawning of the day
we left the waters running wild, we went our separate ways

on the first day of september, last night already long behind
gone like a song sung in summer or preciosa gone with the wind
