lyrics

planets align, city life’s depressing, granite tree line, nature’s a blessing, jasmine & honey wine, lovers undressing, bodies combine, her flesh is refreshing, if i had rope that stretched to the stars i’d throw it as far as the moon to watch her sway in the dark, heaven sent, and land in my arms on a comet, she’s a fern made of lace and the bird on my hand with that hepburn grace, i’m her leading man, for i merely want to give her all the love i can, sweet norma burke needs a leading man, she’s old hollywood before the blue sky disappeared, now the sunset’s draped in a silver shawl and the sea’s a cold broken mirror, she’s an angel and a starlet, she’s a meadow lined with deer, i behold her goodness clearly from afar, ever near, i revere her most sincerely through the ages and the years
