Paul And Virginia - Over the Rhine

Spill-tainted pages of poetic prophecy

Tickle my interest and taunt at my fantasy

Gentle new lover, favorite friend

With hidden desire that bothers my conscience

Again

Like Paul and Virginia!

Sit close to me on the swing

Like Paul and Virginia!

Sit close to me and I’ll sing

(whisper my name, kiss me again)

I’ll sing for you

With you

Oh, you

Cobalt blue vessels, clean same sex rabbits

Old movie romance and a healthy new habit

Moving in passion, resting in reason

With a strong tender poet who touches each region

Within

Illuminations that shine on the river

Subliminal glances provoking a shiver

Palms full of mystery, fingers of magic

Greetings so glorious, partings so tragic

Like Paul and Virginia!
