Three hour phone calls
over the Irish Sea
starting to know you
wanting you to know me
Growing in Mr Venn's Intersection
Love and a Universal Set of Affection.

CHORUS
Van we already had in common
Book by Joni, a tangible love token
Valentine sent An Post Éireann
Then some songs by Leonard Cohen

First Date a meeting on Home turf
Age appropriate coat, Hat and scarf
Nerves Fankled then Frayed with the Chill
Take a right, right again and Pray
At the mansion on the cemetery Hill

Home Town gal I'm back to Stay
Find a Voice then a touch
lips embrace on the couch
An un brief encounter
Her skin like alabaster
Then a toast of fine wine
Far from a consummate disaster
Au Naturel a photo on the bed
touched up like an old master.
