Poetry Girl

Oh, sing to me, baby, oh
 She was a poetry girl I adored
 Late at night, I'd hear songs from her window
 Myrrh and frankincense seeped
 Through her door and they lingered on
 As her fingers caressed her guitar
 Felt like the strings of my heart
 She was strumming with her words
 We made love from afar as she sang her song
 They were songs of change, joy and pain
 All the love she made
 (Like she took the words from)
 Every dream I'd known, every love outgrown
 Singing on and on
 Like she took the words from my heart
 (Like she took the words from my heart)
 And to the poetry girl, down the hall
 Late at night, I would answer her calling
 Like the lyrics from one of her songs
 She made love to me
 (Makin' love to me, yeah)
 Now our bodies and souls intertwined
 (So close)
 On the wings of passion we were soaring
 Then by the flickering candle at night
 She would sing to me
 (Yeah, yeah)
 They were songs of change
 (They were)
 Joy and pain
 (Oh yeah)
 All the love she made
 (Mmm, like she took the words from)
 Every dream I'd known
 (My dreams)
 Every love outgrown
 (And my loves)
 Singing on and on
 (Oh)
 Like she took the words from my heart
 Ooh, oh baby
 Love is often unkind when we fall
 For now my poetess sings to another
 But when I think of those nights down the hall
 From somewhere deep inside
 I sing songs of change, joy and pain
 All the love I've made
 (And I take those words from)
 Every dream I've known, every love outgrown
 Singing on and on
 (And I take those words from)
 Songs of change, joy and pain
 All the love she made
 (Like she took the words from)
 Every dream I'd known, every love outgrown
 Singing on and on
 (Like she took the words from my heart)
 I sing songs of change, joy and pain
 All the love I've made
 (And I take those words from)
 Every dream I've known, every love outgrown
 Singing on and on
 (And I take those words from)
 Songs of change, joy and pain
 All the love she made
 (Like she took the words from)
 Every dream I'd known, every love outgrown
 Singing on and on
 (Like she took the words from my heart)
