The Sensual World

Mmh, yes
Then I’d taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes
He said, «I was a flower of the mountain, yes
But now I’ve powers o’er a woman’s body, yes»
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out
To where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says, «Mmh, yes»
Do I look for those millionaires like a Machiavellian girl would
When I could wear a sunset, mmh, yes
And how we’d wished to live in the sensual world
You don’t need words, just one kiss, then another
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out off the page into the sensual world
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes
And then he whispered, «Would I, mmh, yes
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?»
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He’d rescue it, mmh, yes
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes
I said, «Mmh, yes», but not yet
Mmh, yes
Mmh, yes
