Venus - Anaïs Mitchell

I seen Venus, Venus coming

She come down in a cloud machine

And I believe, I believe that she is

The only woman I ever seen

She came curving soft and hard

Carved outta marble, tall and fair

Her heart is a temple, lover you better

Kneel if you ever enter there

She don’t need no one, don’t need no one

Don’t need no one to hold her hand

I just wanna see her face again

I wanna see her again

Venus laughing, Venus singing

Venus moaning oh my god

It’s like to set the green earth spinning

It’s like to light the sky above

She opened her mouth, birds flew out

Her love was hovering all around

My love moved inside of me

A snake waked up in my body

I’m not making, I ain’t making

I’m not making any kind of plan

I just wanna see her face again

And again, I wanna see her again

I seen Venus, Venus leaving

I don’t even know what it means

But I believe, I believe that she is

The only woman I ever seen
