Somerset Evening 

1. He watched her hands to see if he could tell
       Which way his life would turn
       On a Somerset evening
       When the light was gone she said
       We all have our reasons for carrying on
Ref.  
            They said she was just a canvass
            For him to spread his oils on
            A model for a portrait 
            Painter with no heart

        Drew him from the town
        On a Somerset evening
        She put her hands inside his shirt
        And moved his heart when she sang

3. Now there’s money on the mantlepiece
        And wood for the fire
        On a Somerset evening
        Nothing matters anymore
        There is no silence now she’s gone

Ref.

4. He watched her hands
        To see if he could tell
        On a Somerset evening…….
