Who knew
what love was?
Who knew how good it could be?
Who knew
what love does when you let go?
No,
not me,
till my poor man's ecstasy.
You, 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 cool-headed man and set him free.
Somehow we knew, somehow we 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,
pushing out a rose.
Child's-colored chalk marks on the street.
I owe you,
then go.
Who knew
what love was?
It
always brought me to my knees.
Now you
call my name out,
and I hear a carousel of gush wind melody.
It just can't be,
it just can't be.
I'm a crazy cook that's out to sea.
Why me?
What you do to me?
You're my poor
man's ecstasy.
Clouds of mercy fill the air.
Hallelujah,
look at me.
Luckiest can be.
You're my poor
man's ecstasy.
Tears of laughter, I don't care.
Raise a glass to mystery,
poor man's ecstasy.
