Sharp Cutting Wings (Song to a Poet) Songtext
von Lucinda Williams

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
