Johnny Flynn - Agnes lyrics

I've learned a little bit
I've lost an awful lot
I know ten thousand people and
The best of the best i've forgot

I can't remember you, though
I remember how we met
I fell a little graceless and
The pavement, oh, the pavement won the bet

And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent
You were heaven, heaven spent

St Agnes, put your hair down
Tell your man to go to bed
And steal a kiss from fortune's lips
Before you, before you lift your head

And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent
You were heaven, heaven spent

I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
Follow it through till it
Transcend your grave
I'll stick in the mix with
Your feathers and wings
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings

I've waited for you since though
I've only known you're near
And in my darkest hour
Well, I've had, oh, I've had no need to fear

And in your gentle calling
All the tales spun and the bent
I heard the softer whisperings
That you were heaven spent
You were heaven, heaven spent

I'll follow the line till I end in the waves
Follow it through till it
Transcend your grave
I'll stick in the mix with
Your feathers and wings
Marry me now that we're fingers and rings
