Bright Eyes – Sharp Cutting Wings (Song To A Poet) (Lucinda Williams Cover) lyrics

Well, you’re the one. You’re my shining star.
You’re the one I’ve been waitin’ for.
Let’s fly away to some foreign country
where nobody knows who we are.
I wish I had a ship to sail the waters.
I wish I had about a hundred dollars.
But, I just stand, with this glass in my hand,
feelin’ like nothin’ even matters.
Your words run through me like the blood in my veins.
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name,
before I knew your name.

Well, ever day I miss your smilin’ face.
And no one here can ever take your place.
The sun can shine down over my town.
But it never shines on my days.
And I told all the stars above
that, “I’m gonna shower you with my love.
I won’t demand you; I’ll try to understand you.”
My love is as free as a dove.

Your words run through me like the blood in my veins.
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name,
before I knew your name.

Well, you’re the one. You’re my shining star.
You’re the one that I’ve been waitin’ for
Let’s fly away to some foreign country
where nobody knows who we are.
