Bathsheba Smiles — Richard Thompson

Bathsheba smiles She smiles and veins turn to ice She smiles and heads bow down She works the room Air-kisses every victim twice She spreads her joy around

Do you close your eyes to see miracles Do you raise your face to kiss angels Do you float on air to hear oracles Bathsheba smiles, smiles Bathsheba smiles, smiles No doubt can cross her mind Cross her mind

Bathsheba knows She knows you better than yourself Confess it on your knees She shares her love And sharing love is sharing wealth Dig in your pockets please

Do you close your eyes to see miracles Do you raise your face to kiss angels Do you float on air to hear oracles Bathsheba smiles, smiles Bathsheba smiles, smiles No doubt can cross her mind

No pain no gain's a strain But she never seems to hurt Catwalk pilgrims sing this song Hello heaven, goodbye dirt And no hair shirt

Do you close your eyes to see miracles Do you raise your face to kiss angels Do you float on air to hear oracles Bathsheba smiles, smiles Bathsheba smiles, smiles No doubt can cross her mind

Do you close your eyes Do you raise your face Bathsheba smiles, smiles Bathsheba smiles, smiles Bathsheba smiles
