Lucinda Williams - Sharp Cutting Wings (Song to a Poet) Lyrics

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
Feeling like nothing even matters
Your words run through me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name

Before I knew your name

Everyday I miss your smiling face
No one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines in my days
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 free as a dove
Your words run through 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
