Isobel

Isobel I saw your face
Isobel I saw your face
Upon the wall, in a movie called "Isobel"

I come from Lexington
I come from Lexington
Lexington just ain't no fun, Isobel

Six days a week I let the hammer fall
Six days a week I let the hammer fall
Now I'm on the run since it fell on Paul, Isobel

Once I felt like fallin'
Fallin' down a well, yes I did
I heard the night birds callin', callin' Isobel

Oh, Isobel I saw your face
Isobel I saw your face
Upon the wall, in a movie called "Isobel"

One more green river crossed
Oh, another river crossed
You are the sun to my heart's cold frost, Isobel

I'll build you a house down by the sea
Oh, I'll build you a house down by the sea
A little flame ain't got nothin' on me, Isobel


Once I felt like fallin'
Fallin' down a well, yes I did
I heard the night birds callin', callin' Isobel

Rock me like a baby, oh Isobel
Treat me like a child, oh no
Rock me like a baby, oh Isobel
Treat me like a child

Isobel I saw your face
Isobel I saw your face
Upon the wall, in a movie called "Isobel"
