The Sensual World

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
