Lucky Jim - Lovely To Me lyrics

rate me

You're lovely to me yes you are

We've traveled together

We've traveled so far

Your tongue it is wise

And there's love in your eyes deep and blue

You're lovely to me yes you are

And venus ascending is surely your star

I've seen how you shine

But I can't make you mine it is true

You're a midsummer mountain in bloom

Heather and linden, the fruit of your womb

There's honey and sap in the couch of your lap

Lady day

There's nothing you would not provide

When all is despair you are there at my side

It is you that is near it is you that gives ear

when I pray

You're lovely to me yes you are

You've been out on the road with a craving for tar

You know what you need yes you're canny in deed

And in name

You're lovely to me yes you are

And I'll see you tonight in a local bar

We'll be wed before dawn and by morning

We're one and the same

The old ones they knew you my love

They set you to reason and sullied a dove

But how could they try you or demystify you with words

You're a city that's pulling me still

You keep me from sleeping and strengthen my will

The gates they are strong but they open for song I

have heard

You're lovely to me yes you are

You're the beautiful one that time cannot mar

Your lost in the eyes of my love as she cries all for

joy

You're lovely to me yes you are

You're the elusive chord on my old guitar

You're hidden 'neath veils that our love making fails

to destroy

There's all I desire in your voice

I fear I am bold but you leave me no choice

You know that to ask me to turn from my task would be

vain

You're a rose that for no man will yield

You have many names and all of them sealed

Your empire is vast from the first to the last you

remain

You're lovely to me yes you are

It's war all the time but you bare no scar

You glitter like sand as it runs through my hands to

the sea

You're lovely to me yes you are

You're my drunken companion it's right that you are

Your love takes me higher your love is the fire in me
