When She Is Mine - Michael Franks

Everywhere the lady goes

Sunshine follows

All her men return to her

Like Capistrano swallows

She is like a butterfly

Kind of shy

So she smiles

Lost in Hollywood was I High and dry

The lady never beat about

She just sighed

And threw her lifeline out

Now she give me love and

Helps me stand

In this quicksand of time

And how sublime

Like Christmastime

When she is mine

She’s a virtuoso

In amoroso

Look out when the lady gets the blues

Afraid we’re just pretending

Some happy ending

The mechanism’s tricky to defuse

But I know that a song

Will save her

So I simply return the favor

She’s a virtuoso

In amoroso

Look out when the lady gets the blues

Afraid we’re just pretending

Some happy ending

The mechanism’s tricky to defuse

But I know that a song

Will save her

So I simply return the favor

Lost in Hollywood was I High and dry

The lady never beat about

She just sighed

And threw her lifeline out

Now she give me love and

Helps me stand

In this quicksand of time

And how sublime

Like Christmastime

When she is mine
