Mmm, yes, then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth,
Going deep south, go down, mmm---, yes,
Took six big wheels, and rolled our bodies ...off of Howth Head,
Into the flesh, mmm----, 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,
j7
And the down of a peach says, 'Mmm------, yes!'
Do I look for those millionaires, like a Machiavellian girl would?
When I could wear ...a sunset, mmm---, yes,
And how we'd wished to live in a sensual world,
You don't need words, just one kiss, then another!
Stepping out of the page ...into the sensual world,
Stepping out of the page ...into the sensual world!
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech,
j7
Mmm-------, yes, and then he whispered,
j7
'Would I, ...mmm---, yes, be safe, mmm-----, yes, from mountain flowers?'
And at first with the charm a - round him, mmm--, yes,
He loosened it, so if ...it slipped between my breasts,
He'd rescue it, mmm----, yes!
And his spark took life in my hand ...and, mmm---, yes,
I said, 'Mmm, yes, ...but not yet, ...mmm----, yes, | / / / / |
Mmm--------, yes, mmm---, yes!
