Kincardine Lyrics

I met her in Kincardine, and she captured me with one of her smiles

She asked me to take her into town for a beer, I just need to get away for a while

I took her down to the tavern, and she ordered us a pitcher of brew

And I asked her if she wanted to try the lambada, and she laughed for a minute or two

Must be hard to live your life in a chair, every day must be a struggle sometimes

But the only thing that ever bothered her was the pity of the deaf and blind

I didn't dare to ask her out to my room, and I wasn't going to kiss her goodnight

But she took my hand and held it tight to her face,

and she said Honey, would you turn out the light

Now I can't say I've never strayed before, but I can tell you, Casanova, I'm not

But something about her free and easy manner got me going when I thought it would not

And I lifted her out of her wheelchair, and laid her gently on the bed

She said, You don't need to be so careful, she put her healing hands upon my head

I guess that you could say that I was surprised at the fact that she could be like me

A little too lonely to resist the temptation to surrender to the same kind of need

I guess I'd been expecting someone more like a saint to be keeping all her troubles inside

Or someone who never gave a thought to herself and only wanted to be loved like a child

So I asked myself if I was doing someone a favor with some reason why I'd keep myself free

She found a way to heal the wounded pride of the cripple trying to hide in me

And I lifted her out of her wheelchair, and laid her gently on the bed

She said, You don't need to be so careful, she put her healing hands upon my head

And I lifted her out of her wheelchair, and laid her gently on the bed

She said, You don't need to be so careful, she put her healing hands upon my head
