Hesitating Beauty Lyrics - Billy Bragg

For your sparkling cocky smile 

I have walked a million miles 

Begging you to come wed me in the Spring 

Why do you my dear delay, 

What makes you laugh and turn away? 

You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee 

Well I know that you are itching to get married 

Nora Lee 

And I know I am twitching for the same thing 

Nora Lee 

By the stars and clouds above 

We can spend our lives in love 

You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee 

We can build a house and home 

Where the flowers come to bloom 

Around our yard I'll nail a fence so high 

That the boys with peeping eyes 

Cannot see that angel face 

Of my hesitating beauty, Nora Lee 

We can ramble hand in hand 

Across the grasses of our land 

I'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree 

We can bring our kids to play 

Where the dry winds blow today 

If you'll quit your hesitating, Nora Lee
