Sharp Cutting Wings (Song to a Poet) (Lucinda Williams cover) Lyrics
Well, you’re the one, you’re my shining star
You’re the one I’ve been waiting 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
Feeling like nothing 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
Before I knew your name
Well, every day I miss your smiling face
And no one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines on my days
And I told all the stars above
That I’m going to 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 through me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
Well, you’re the one, you’re my shining star
You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for
Let’s fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
You’re the one I’ve been waiting 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
Feeling like nothing even matters
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
And no one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines on my days
And I told all the stars above
That I’m going to shower you with my love
I won’t demand you; I’ll try to understand you
My love is as free as a dove
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for
Let’s fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are

i've never heard this cover before, where can one find it?
Lucinda Williams is so good. Connor wishes he wrote this song which is okay cause I do too.
This song makes me cry.
I just stand with this glass in my hand feeling like nothing even matters.
