Bathsheba Smiles by Richard Thompson

Bathsheba smiles
She smiles and veins turn to ice
She smiles and heads bow down

She works the room
Air-kisses every victim twice
She spreads her joy around

Do you close your eyes to see miracles?
Do you raise your face to kiss angels?
Do you float on air to hear oracles?

Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
No doubt can cross her mind, cross her mind
(Bathsheba)

Bathsheba knows
She knows you better than yourself
Confess it on your knees

She shares her love
And sharing love is sharing wealth
Dig in your pockets, please

Do you close your eyes to see miracles?
Do you raise your face to kiss angels?
Do you float on air to hear oracles?

Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
No doubt can cross her mind
(Bathsheba)

No pain, no gain's a strain
But she never seems to hurt
Catwalk pilgrims sing this song
Hello heaven, goodbye dirt
And no hair shirt

Do you close your eyes to see miracles?
Do you raise your face to kiss angels?
Do you float on air to hear oracles?

Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
No doubt can cross her mind
(Bathsheba)

Do you close your eyes?
Do you raise your face?

Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
Bathsheba smiles, smiles
(Bathsheba)
Bathsheba smiles
