Lyrics

Lindsay was my first love She was in my class I would have loved to take her out But I was too shy to ask The fullness of my feeling Was never made clear But I send her my love And a bang on the ear Nora was my girl When I first was in a group I can still see her to this day Stirring chicken soup Now she's living in Australia Working for an auctioneer But I send her my love And a bang on the ear Deborah broke my heart And I the willing fool I fell for her one summer On the road to Liverpool I thought it was forever But it was over within the year (oh dear) But I send her my love And a bang on the ear The home I made with Bella Became a house of pain We weathered it together Bound by a ball and chain It started up in Fife It ended up in tears But I send her my love And a bang on the ear Krista was a rover From Canada she hailed We crossed swords in San Francisco We both lived to tell the tale I don't know now where she is Oh, but if I had her here I'd give her my love And a bang on the ear So my woman of the hearth fire Harbour of my soul I watch you lightly sleeping I sense the dream that does unfold . like gold You to me are treasure You to me are dear So I'll give you my love And a bang on the ear
