Empty Boxes
Dawn McCarthy and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy

A beggarly, account of empty boxes

That is all I own in this world

Oh Diana, sweet Diana


To flirt and fling a young girl dressed in ribbons

Taking fancies to those like you

Oh Diana, sweet Diana


Yet you wait with morning in your hair

And now I need good reason,

But I've none to spare



You are just a leaf that I have turned

And I am like a match that slowly burns


A beggarly, account of empty boxes

That is all I own in this world

Oh Diana, sweet Diana
