Sharp Cutting Wings (song To A Poet) Lyrics

Lucinda Williams Sharp Cutting Wings (song To A Poet)

you're the one, you're my shinin' star
you're the one I've been waiting for
let's fly away to some foreign country
where nobody knows who we are
I wish I had a ship to sail the waters
I wish I had about a hundred dollars
but I'll just stand with this glass in my hand
feelin' like nothin' even matters
your words run thru me
like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love
before I knew your name
before I knew your name
every day I miss your smilin' face
no one here can ever take your place
the sun can shine down over my town
but it never shines in my day
I told all the stars above
I'm gonna shower you with my love
I won't demand you, I'll try to understand you
my love is as free as a dove
your words run thru me
like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love
before I knew your name
before I knew your name
you're the one, you're my shinin' star
you're the one I've been waiting for
let's fly away to some foreign country
where nobody knows who we are
