The Sensual World

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 and into the flesh, mmm, yes

He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes
But now I've powers over 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 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 the 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, mmm, yes
And then he whispered would I, mmm, yes
Be safe, mmm, yes, from mountain flowers?

And at first with the charm around 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
