SHE'S FUNNY THAT WAY

Once she dressed in tweeds and drapes 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 loved it seems now so long ago Back in the past It always seemed like a morning star fading fast Drowned out by noon time In daylight's trivial sky Love was a mirage that you can hold with your eye But as you came upon it It would dry up Wondering where true love would come at all Watching each affair pass Without a lasting word except goodbye 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 her fear I have seen before how sometimes people speak of love And think of pain The very thought strain 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 take but couldn't give at all It's really like you come as close to as losing All your skin But now I'm falling in love And the angel's falling in there with me in love She checked her wings in at the door Now raindrops are diamonds Falling out of Jennifer's pocket And every kiss is jewelized 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 she whispers That she's crazy living over me What am I to do but 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
