Over the Rhine - Paul and Virginia lyrics

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 (whisper my name, kiss me again) I'll sing for you With you Oh, you Cobalt blue vessels, clean same s** rabbits Old movie romance and a healthy new habit Moving in pa**ion, resting in reason With a strong tender poet who touches each region Within 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!
