So for the first time in a while
I wrote a love song in a minute.
I saw my first rhyme in her smile
And the second in her laughter;
She was beautiful and I told her,
But I said it like I didn't mean it -
I said the first words before she smiled
And the second an eternity after

As my hands fingered
On my guitar,
My eyes lingered
On her

My eyes fed on her curves
I tried to talk, I couldn't find the words
It was like a blessing... like a curse
I lingered on her
Like I lingered on the verse

Beauty stared me in the face
And I couldn't breathe.
Surreal sweetness washed over me
And I couldn't leave

I sang songs
And banged drums...
I threw tambourines and tantrums,
I sang on
And on
Like a minstrel on drugs

So for the first time in my life
I wrote a love song standing on the road
With my
Mouth agape
And my eyes
Following a pretty young lady walking by...
