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

Mickey White guitar
Andre Matthews guitar
Rex Bell bass
Ira Wilkes drums
Mickey Moody steel guitar
Malcolm Smith fiddle

You're the one you're my shinin star
You're the one I've been waiting 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'll just stand with this glass in my hand
Feeling like nothing even matters
Your words run thru me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name

Before I knew your name

SOLO

Everyday I miss your smiling face
No one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines in my days
I told all the stars above
I'm gonna shower you with my love
I won't demand you I'll try to understand you
My love is free as a dove
Your words run thru me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name

Before I knew your name
You're the one you're my shinin star
You're the one I've been waiting for
Let's fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
