I'll Be Wise - Kate Rusby

There, I see him, I swore I’d walk on by him

But I cannot resist and stop to admire him

But when evening’s here, my heart it sighs

And then I’m clear;

tomorrow I’ll be wise

But there I see him, he smiles and I am beneath him

My ears they long to hear him

But when evening’s here, my heart it sighs

And then I’m clear;

tomorrow I’ll be wise

Until I see him, I take a chance and then I’ve told him

A tender glance and then I hold him

But when evening’s here, my heart it sighs

And then I’m clear;

tomorrow I’ll be wise

But there I see him, and there and then I knew I miss him

I take his hand and then I kiss him

But when evening’s here, my heart it sighs

And then I’m clear;

tomorrow I’ll be wise

But there I see him, alas I was wrong, how I perceived him

Another girl, she has received him

Oh my poor heart almost believed him

But when evening’s here, my heart it sighs

And then I’m clear;

tomorrow I’ll be wise
