Paul And Virginia Lyrics - Singles - Over The Rhine

Spill-tainted pages of poetic prophecy 

Tickle my interest and taunt at my fantasy 

Gentle new lover, favorite friend 

With hidden desire that bothers my conscience again 

Like Paul and Virginia! 

Sit close to me on the swing 

Like Paul and Virginia! 

Sit close to me and I'll sing 

I'll sing for you 

With you 

Oh, you 

Cobalt blue vessels, clean same-sex rabbits 

Old movie romance and a healthy new habit 

Moving in passion, resting in reason 

With a strong, tender poet who touches each region within 

Like Paul and Virginia! 

Sit close to me on the swing 

Like Paul and Virginia! 

Whisper my name and I'll sing 

I'll sing for you 

With you 

Oh, you 

Illuminations that shine on the river 

Subliminal glances provoking a shiver 

Palms full of mystery, fingers of magic 

Greetings so glorious, partings so tragic 

Like Paul and Virginia! 

Sit close to me on the swing 

Like Paul and Virginia! 

Kiss me again and I'll sing 

I'll sing for you 

With you 

Oh, you
