I Love My Jean

Camera Obscura I Love My Jean Lyrics
1.I Love My Jean

Of a the airts the wind can blaw
I dearly like the west
For there the bonnie Lassie lives
The Lassie I love best
There's wild-woods grow, and rivers row
And mony a hill between
But day and night my fancy's flight
Is ever wi my Jean

I see her in the Dewy folwers
I see her sweet and fair
I hear her in the tunefu birds
I hear her charm the air
There's not a bonnie flower, that springs
By a fountain, shaw, or green
There's not a bonnie bird that sings
But minds me o my Jean


2.Marathon Not A Sprint

Honey you were good for me but I can't deny my need to be free
grows
I resigned myself to climb the stairs to your
winning thighs and endless prayers alone
My new-found confidence you hate, everything put down to fate
Nothing less or more
It's a marathon and not a sprint
That's what we said before we quit
Love should grow
Should boast

I feel I'm doing time
With someone not on my side
A mystery divide
Brings me close
To who I love the most

A friend from the capital came to visit
Will she comfort me or does she want to gossip
Who knows?
I'll take these worries to the park
I won't come home until after dark
No one will know except you of course
I'll go swimming and ride a bike
Maybe turn into someone that you'd like
It's a marathon and not a sprint
That's what we said before we quit
Love should grow, should boast


3.A Red, Red Rose

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass
So deep in luve am I
And I will love thee still, my Dear
Till a, the seas gang dry

Till a the seas gang dry, my Dear
And the rocks melt wi the sun
I will love thee still, my Dear
While the sands o life shall run

And fare thee weel, my only Luve!
And fare thee weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve
Tho it were ten thousand mile!
