She was a rare thing as fine as a bees wing. So find a breath of wind might blow her away. She was a lost child. She was running wild. She said, as long as there's no price on the last day. And you wouldn't want it any other way.
I love the analogy of a woman being as fine as a, you know, a bees wing and something that could flutter away. And this particular woman in this song bees wing knows that it's funny because if she went too close to him and said, I want to be your wife, he would run away So instead she says, as long as there's no price on love, stay, and you wouldn't want it any other way. So essentially, she knows this person, Richard Thompson, whoever's in there better than he does, because he is so in love with her that he wants to capture her. And she's saying, as long as there's no prize as long as you're not asking anything, oh, me. And if you were honest, you wouldn't want it any other way.
