Matthew E. White - Never Had it Better lyrics

One time for our mountain Our volcano that threw herself from the sea And when the rain striped the cement sky on the way to crown her I covered you in a banana leaf Two times for our lime green oceanside motel And for the coupla nights that we decided to spend there I found my roots in something deeper then We called it love, or was it deliverance I’ve never had it better I’ve never had it better than this, with you I’ve never had it better than this Three times for an August moon, just lit you right On a hard black beach on a soft black night We made the angels jealous, felt ‘em hoverin’ close We called it love we called it discoverin head to toe I’ve never had it better I’ve never had it better than this, with you I’ve never had it better than this Sometimes when the night is warm but the wind is cold When my mind is young, but my body’s old And the light is dancing like a swarm of bees I know all we were given is shadows and dreams And mine was a dense and reverberating jungle And mine was a transparent cathedral I was a bruiseless child, I was unstained light My body is cloudy, my body was bright And mine was an incandescent grove of rubies And mine was that sweet fruit of electric beauty I’ve walked the length of my mind, and feel it end LIke the edge of a shadow when the light descends I’ve never had it better I’ve never had it better than this, with you I’ve never had it better than this
