Who knew
|
What love was
|
Who knew how good it could be
|
Who knew
|
What love does
|
When you let go
|
Oh no not me
|
Till my poor man's ecstasy
|
You knew
|
You love me
|
You wear my heart on your sleeve
|
So new
|
So lovely
|
Unlikely as it may be
|
I believe
|
In my poor man's ecstasy
|
You're my poor man's ecstasy
|
Clouds of mercy fill the air
|
Hallelujah look at me
|
With my poor man's ecstasy
|
You knew
|
How to take a bulletheaded man
|
And set him free
|
Somehow you knew
|
And somehow he grew into his dreams
|
Gracefully
|
With a poor man's ecstasy
|
You're my poor man's ecstasy
|
Clouds of mercy fill the air
|
Hallelujah look at me
|
With my poor man's ecstasy
|
Raise a glass to mystery
|
Poor man's ecstasy
|
Ragweed in the concrete
|
Pushin' out a rose
|
Child's colored chalk marks on the street
|
My own van goghs
|
Who knew
|
What love was
|
It always brought me to my knees
|
Now you call my name out
|
And I hear a carousel of gershwin melodies
|
This can't be
|
It just can't be
|
I'm a crazy cork that's out to sea a?Ħħ why me
|
Oh what you do to me
|
You're my poor man's ecstasy
|
Clouds of mercy fill the air
|
Hallelujah look at me
|
Lucky as can be
|
You're my poor man's ecstasy
|
Tears or laughter I don't care
|
Raise a glass to mystery
|
Poor man's ecstasy
|
