Lindsay was my first love she was in my class I would have loved to take her out but I was too shy to ask The fullness of my feeling was never made clear But I send her my love with a bang on the ear Nora was my girl when I first was in a group I can still see her to this day, stirring chicken soup Now she's living in australia working for an auctioneer But I send her my love with a bang on the ear Deborah broke my heart and I the willing fool I fell for her one summer on the road to liverpool I thought it was forever but it was over in a year (oh dear) But I give her my love with a bang on the ear The home I made with bella became a house of pain We weathered it together bound by a ball and chain Is started up in fife, and ended up in tears (oh dear) But I send her my love with a bang on the ear Krista was a rover from canada she hailed We crossed swords in san francisco we both lived to tell the tale I don't know now where she is oh but if I had her here I'd give her my love with a bang on the ear So my woman of the hearthfire, harbour of my soul I watch you lightly sleeping and sense the dream that does unfold (like gold) You to me are treasure, you to me are dear So I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear
