Handsome Wife

Falling for and far tonight You and yours and my handsome wife That divil just went and stole the show So I'm letting every gold hair grow Nothing like a kiss goodnight It tastes like till the day I die Oh I wish I could have known I'm the one that never gets old This sore sad city never skips a beat While I'm sitting sweet in the passenger seat Going home and growing strong The silence is so soft I'm gonna be free I was young and I was honest Me and all your father's daughters Laid beside the tide to take us Kissed the bride and fought your favours I may not be the wife you want But I'm pregnant with the virgin tongue Pave the way for calm to come With all the pace of Sundays gone It's too bad surely to admit defeat With these hands so neat between my teeth Till the right man comes along singing the right song But when the right man comes along singing the right song It's gonna be me I was young and I was honest Me and all your father's daughters Laid beside the tide to take us Kissed the bride and fought your favours I may not be the wife you want But I'm pregnant with the virgin tongue I may not be the wife you want But I'm pregnant with the virgin tongue
