"I Have Made A Place" lyrics - BONNIE PRINCE BILLY

I don't have much at all
But I have sheep
I have nothing like a fortune
But I can sleep
All of the widows in town
Have given me their key
They count on no judgement
Only hard love from me

[Chorus:]
Those who want to
They call my name and
Recognise my face
I don't know why
I was born but
I have made a place

I built my own house
And have no gate
I go to bed so early
And sleep so late
When I die there will be a hole
No other man can cover
I have made a place here
I am Eve's own lover

[Chorus:]
Those who want to
They call my name and
Recognise my face
I don't know why
I was born but
I have made a place

I have many friends
And children call me master
I help older folks build fires
To warm their homes up faster

[Break]

[Chorus:]
I don't know why
I was born, but
I have made a place
