She Is What Came After Me

She is what came after me Tempted by her beauty You had to reach out and touch She is what came after me That beauty that called you Her allure is one you like more Or maybe the way she looks at you less In her eyes what do you see? Her nakedness and form unlike me And the urges to woo her so strong Not wanting to wait the afternoon, So it was all night and even more right than before In the four poster bed Able to erase All The past you might wonder Will this last? I wonder how you Moved so fast? She is what came after me The wisewoman in me says let it be Let it be. Because I know, I know, that hope is too dangerous And pride a sin, Your silence lets me know you let her in And anyway, an empty heart is better than no heart so this is my song of despair, because I know she is still there She Came to You after me.
