I was 19 when I came to town, they called it the summer of love They were burning babies burning flags, the hawks against the doves I took a job at the steaming, way down on Caltrim street And I fell in love with a laundry girl that was workin' next to me Brown hair zig zagged around her face with a look of half surprise Like a fox caught in the headlights, there was animal in her eyes She said oh man, oh can't you see, I'm not the factory kind And if you don't take me out of here, I'll lose my mind She was a rare thing, as fine as a bee's wing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild She said so long as there's no price on love I'll stay You wouldn't want me any other way We busked around the market towns, fruit pickin', down in Kent We could tinker lamps and pots and pans and knives wherever we went I said that we should settle down and get a few acres dug A fire burning in the hearth and babies on the rug She said, oh man, you foolish man that surely sounds like hell Well you might be lord of half the world, you'll not own me as well She was a rare thing, as fine as a bee's wing So fine that I might crush her where she lay She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild She said so long as there's no price on love I'll stay You wouldn't want me any other way We were campin down in Gower one time the work was pretty good She said we shouldn't wait for the frost, but I thought we should We were drinking more in those days, our fevers reached a pitch Like a fool I let her run when she took the rambling itch Now last I hear she's sleeping rough back on the Derby beat White Lithening in her hip pocket and a Wolfhound at her feet They say she got married once to a man named Romany Brown But even a gypsy caravan was too much like settlin' down They say her flower has faded now, rough weather and hard booze Well Maybe that's the price you pay for the chains that you refuse She was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child, she was runnin' wild She said so long as there's no price on love I'll stay You wouldn't want me any other way She was a rare thing, as fine as a bee's wing I miss her more than many words could say If I could just taste all of her wildness now and hold her in my arms for one more day I wouldn't want her any other way
