Richard Thompson Jennie lyrics

Oh, trouble becomes you, it cuts you down to my size
And you never were less than perfect in my eyes
But I lost my way somehow for three hard winters, I held it in till now
Oh now I can't help it, oh Jennie, my love, oh Jennie, my love

Now you pin up your hair like you did when first we met
How many days of his life can a man regret?
And if my tears were a train
Then I'd cry all the way back into your arms again
Now I can't help it, oh Jennie, my love, oh Jennie, my love


Now I count the times we spent and the times we missed
Now I stand here, love un-sworn and lips un-kissed
And oh how hard I tried to kill the vision of you as another man's bride
Oh, now I can't help it, oh Jennie, my love, oh Jennie, my love
Oh Jennie my love, oh Jennie, my love, oh Jennie, my love
