ONLY DESIRE WHAT YOU HAVE (K Rusby PRS/ MCPS)
I was not born a Queen or King,
I have no house nor anything,
In comfort none can equal me,
I'm what they all would die to be.
Chorus
Walk in the sun stay in the light,
And when we're done we'll take flight,
Only desire what you have,
Only desire what you have.
My alter is the breath of life,
For wisdom grace and love I strife,
While evil games the greedy play,
There's only nature I obey.
Chorus
I'll have no check upon my glass,
Let the hours of joy and laughter pass,
Let night into the morning fold,
Let a whole new day of life take hold.
Chorus
I'll journey on I'll sing and dance,
And the greedy ones can make their stance,
With pockets for souls they'll never fill,
With happy heart I'm smiling still.
Chorus x 2

Kate Rusby could sing the yellow pages to the tune of peppa pig and it would be a wondrous thing indeed; her voice oh her voice

[@docben1541]

A marvelous voice !

[@BramHepburn]

What are yellow pages 😁

[@amfwelsh]

Bram Hepburn a big phone book

[@kayegillanders8819]

I have to agree. She has the ability to reduce me to tears with her wondrous voice xxxx

[@AlanKey86]

I saw Kate play this last night in Portsmouth. Absolutely fantastic gig and one of my favourite songs of hers. I love the interplay between the banjo and the guitar. And those lyrics... what a song!

[@jonathanperkins589]

This only has 103k views? Give it a minute! Love you Kate. You've been a real comfort and inspiration in troubled times. I really appreciate you.

[@Ambienfinity]

Words of wisdom from the golden-voiced Barnsley Nightingale! Besides your talent and equally talented band, we love your warmth and humour, and have seen you quite a few times, mostly in Buxton.

[@chrisb4907]

If Radio got behind this like they have with Ed Sheeran this'd be NUmber 1 for weeks

[@NolanTyrrell]

Aah first we have to be able to understand the words. I love it all but I want to be able to understand. I know it's not fair that I cannot understand Gaelic, Welsh or Geordie - whatever accent she has. But it's an impediment.

[@NolanTyrrell]

Who is ed Sheeran?

[@imrehadi]

True

[@garywhitt98]

Lovely. Kate’s voice is just a pure gift from God.

[@benmalone6139]

What can I say .....you make me smile Kate. Love your work

[@saraalkufahy5397]

Caffe Nero brought me here, and I am glad for their good taste in music:)

[@ctp887]

hi Kate, this song is beautiful as always. I have been following your music for 8 years now and have never been disappointed. you are always my go to music and I share it with as many people as I can. I have made it a goal of mine to see you in concert at least once and can't wait until that happens. cheers from Oregon, USA!

[@patgarten163]

Collin, I feel much the same. I am in NY, and I went, with my two daughters, to the 2015 Underneath the Stars Festival. My suggestion, go to the 2017 UtSF Festival, and hope to catch another concert of hers while you are over there as well - can't get enough of Kate Rusby you know. Barnsley, South Yorkshire, and the surrounding areas are wonderful to visit.

[@ctp887]

Pat Garten I will definitely have to do that. maybe I'll see you there!

[@dinerouk]

North Yorshire is also a must see very beautiful in parts.

[@jamesfarmer8034]

[@dennisoconnell7165]

[@mrashfest]

I'm a relatively new follower (thanks to Ricky Gervais and Afterlife for the intro), can't believe I was unaware of your talent for so long, guess I've been out of the UK too long.

[@jackdaw7781]

Exactly!

This song touched my heart

[@MrKreuzQuer]

Great Song! I can clearly hear Ron Block ... but I can't see him. :(

[@ytnsanw]

Strange hearing this without Dan Tyminski's harmony...

[@sambull2220]

The banjo figures so prominently in this song. Where is the banjo player in the video?

[@ytnsanw]

Ron Block from Union Station. He and Damien do a banjo duo. He played all the banjo on LIAPB.

[@abesapien9930]

A modern singer singing about contentment? What is this sorcery?!

[@rysands]

Lyrics anywhere please?

[@paddybpaddyb9940]

C'est pas trop mal mais l'air est different en Francais mais amis English

[@suzannecoffey1391]

Love the song, but re: the lyrics: *altar *strive
