Sharp Cutting Wings (Song to a Poet)

From her 1980 album "Happy Woman Blues" Lyrics:

You're the one, you're my shinin' star

You're the one I've been waitin' 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 just stand

With this glass in my hand

Feelin' like nothin' even matters



Your words run through me like the blood in my veins

I could swear I knew your love

Before I knew your name...



Everyday I miss your smilin' 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 as free as a dove



Your words run thru me like the blood in my veins

I could swear I knew your

Before I knew your name...



You're the one, you're my shinin' star

You're the one I've been waitin' for

Let's fly away

To some foreign country

Where nobody knows who we are
