Richard Thompson Shaky Nancy
(Chorus) Here she comes and there she goes Nothing on her fingers, nothing on her toes Why she comes, nobody knows Here comes Shaky Nancy Don't be believing she melts in your hand Runs with the tide and she shifts with the sand Sends you a message and turns to stone She's a hard girl, Nancy One cold morning, ice on the sea Shaky Nancy, won't you lean on me? Must mean something, how can you lose? There's nothing choosy or chancy (Chorus) Nancy went walking, she's gone for the day When she comes back, she's been two years away But still tears in her eyes Who'll say a prayer for Nancy? (Chorus) Just throw me a bottle, call me a bore And you throw what's left of me into the hall I'll take a sleep, I'll take a sleep And I'll dream sweet dreams of Nancy (Chorus)
