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 upon your knees

She shares her love

And sharing love is sharing wealth

Dig in your pocket, 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
