She's Funny That Way

Once she dressed in tweeds and lace, owned a rolls-royce car

Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star

While I worry, plan and scheme over what to do

I can't help feeling it's a dream: She's just too good to be true

Whenever I've loved - it seems now so long ago, back in the past

It always seemed like love was a morning star, fading fast

Drowned out be noon time in daylight's trivial sky

Love was a mirage that you could hold with your eye

But as you came upon it it would dry up

Wondering, finally, whether true love would come at all

Watching each affair pass without a lasting word except 'goodby', taking the fall

Counting sorrows like raindrops falling from above

Wanting, somehow, to find a love

To share with me a shelter against the storms of living

Someone who was giving

Kisses from her joy and not here fear

I have seen before how sometimes people speak of love and think of pain

The very thought strained

All their insides out so you could see fear was like a nail holding them to their past

Keeping them distant from their futures, living in sadness

Robbing every day of what could be - knowing it was madness

I would leave them hungering for what they'd take, but couldn't give at all

It's rare in life you came as close to losing all your skin

But now I've fallen in love and an angel's fallen in there with me (in love)

She checked her wing in at the door

Now, raindrops are diamonds falling out of jennifer's pockets

And every kiss is july 4 rockets

What was I thinking of?

Angels never fall in love

With men like me

But still, every morning I awake to find my angel's still asleep

Right there in my arms - and life is complete

When she wakes, she smiles and whispers that she's crazy living over me

What am I to do but to thank the other angels above?

She's stuck with me

I'll never let her go now

With jennifer I dig love

And she can dig it, too

She's funny that way
