From the recording Lived Loved and Lost a Few Times
Lyrics
There is a woman that took me home last week
I think I've overstayed my stay
I wish that she belonged to me
But don’t really think she feels that way
I want to say how much I long for her
When I hesitate to speak
As she caressed my face without a single word she kissed me on my cheek....
Though I had my doubts about the two of us
She just convinced me not to leave
She dimmed those lights and laid out her cards
She had some magic up her sleeve
Her hands became a work of art
Some might call it sleight of hand
I'm mesmerized by the touch I feel
Its a science I don’t understand....
We had taken off into a sleepless night
As the sweat poured out of our skin
We'd wrapped ourselves into the arms of love
Until the two of us were spent
Then we laid upon those sheets so fine like they were woven for a queen
As I drifted from that taste of love
I slid into a dream
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
When I awoke to thoughts of worry
I had no feelings of discontent
It seems she'd put a spell on me
And I'd wonder where I'd been
There were stains upon my fingers
Dirt underneath my nails
I felt like I'd dug a shallow Grave
Or just crawlin' out of hell....
So I closed my eyes to contemplate on this moment of my despair
When found something sweet and wonderful
It was a scent that filled the air
I found a rose laid upon my pillow
A note right beside my head
Her lips were press upon that card
And this is what it said....
You know I never believed in the notion
That there was true love at first sight
Till the fault at the edge of my fracture heart you rocked me deep inside
So I felt the need to bring you home
To see what ends we might become
As my passion grew with every word you spoke
I knew you were the one I knew you were the one
Ooo
