| Imagine my surprise! I love that I have found you But I ache all over wanting to know your every dream Imagine my surprise! To find that I love you Feeling warm all over knowing that you've been alive Pirates off an Eastern Coast Women you lived in danger But I hear your laughter free of petticoats No need for foolish chivalry Though you're living in the eighteenth century You make love to each other on your boats out on the sea Chorus Lady poet of great acclaim I have been misreading you I never knew your poems were meant for me You lived alone in a quiet den Pouring passion through your pen And weeping for your lady lovers As they safely married men Rugged women gone before me Paving paths like pioneers so often all alone I dreamed of queens and cinderellas Facing disappointment when I was grown Facing disappointment when I was grown Chorus Copyright 1976 Hereford Music Use/Reprint by Permission Only. |
