The way my arms around you touch the centre of my being
As I step inside the marshland of your mind
Makes me weak inside my senses like a dog hit by a diesel
And more alone than Milton goin' blind
And I know I need to lose you if I ever want to find you
'Cause the poet's way is finished from the start
And I feel a palpitation kinda flutter in my forehead
As I think the problem over in my heart
Yes I guess I'll always never know the question to your answer
If I can't be doin' wrong by feelin' right
But I'm really lookin' forward to how you'll be lookin' backward
When I'm walkin' with you sideways through the night
I can keep this kind of writin' goin' more or less forever
But I can't undo destruction when it's gone
I can only think of you and what you cost me in hotel bills
As I settle down to dream of movin' on
If I've never longed to love you less than now you'll know the reason
Is because my whole desire is to sing
And everything I'm sayin' is the mirror of your beauty
As it hovers like a vulture on the wing
Yes I guess I'll always never know the question to your answer
If I can't be doin' wrong by feelin' right
But I'm really lookin' forward to how you'll be lookin' backward
When I'm walkin' with you sideways through the night
