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
Yes
