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
