Boyfriend - Lissie

I prefer the river

The ocean is too big a body to understand

Go to where it narrows

Bring your bow and arrow

Meet me out on the land

White water flowing on the rocks in the sunshine

Drinking red wine in the summertime

Night swimming, skinny dipping, love in the moonlight

And it’s all mine

I don’t want a boyfriend

I don’t want a house built on the sand

I don’t want a lover

I want a man

A coming-from-the-heart man

Living in my heartland

Coming-from-the-heart man

Underneath the covers of treetops and each other

Awoken by a gentle breeze

Are we here in silence

The birds and smells of lilacs

Going out from a city

Bird calling, water falling, dreams in the sunshine

Drinking red wine in the summertime

Sun tan and Steely Dan and sounds on the radio

And it’s all mine

I don’t want a boyfriend

I don’t want a house built on the sand

I don’t want a lover

I want a man

A coming-from-the-heart man

Living in my heartland

Coming-from-the-heart man

Sweet like honey dripping, oh touch and taste

Lights my fire burning all night and day

Your soul so stunning

Taking my breath away

My desire reaching out for the flame

I don’t want a boyfriend

I don’t want a house built on the sand

I don’t want a lover

I want a man

A coming-from-the-heart man

Living in my heartland

Coming-from-the-heart man

I want a man

(I want a man)

In my heartland

Coming-from-the-heart man

Living in my heartland
