Billy Bragg Hesitating Beauty Lyrics

For your sparkling cocky smile I have walked a million miles
Begging you to come wed me in the spring
Why do you my dear delay, what makes you laugh and turn away?
You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

Well, I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee
And I know I am twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee
By the stars and clouds above, we can spend our lives in love
You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

We can build a house and home where the flowers come to bloom
Around our yard I'll nail a fence so high
That the boys with peeping eyes cannot see that angel face
Of my hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

Well, I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee And I know I am twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee
By the stars and clouds above, we can spend our lives in love
If you'll quit your hesitating, Nora Lee

We can ramble hand in hand across the grasses of our land
I'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree
We can bring our kids to play where the dry leaves blow today
If you'll quit your hesitating, Nora Lee

Well, I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee
And I know I am twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee
By the stars and clouds above, we can spend our lives in love
If you'll quit your hesitating, Nora Lee
