Blowpipe
We thought we knew all about love
From time immemorial
Our bodies by heart and our hearts
Kept warm by velvet
And then there you are, sweet little woman
As though blown out of a blowpipe
The sky has grown even brighter
Since I met you
Men are wont to chase time
As has forever slipped away
And then there you are
And everything in my life becomes clearer
Clinging to my neck like a vine
Like the reed of a blowpipe
The sky has opened up in places
Since I met you
No need for flowery words or lengthy speeches
Everything’s changed within and all around
Gone are the mornings of jammed eyelids
As heavy as Calor gas cylinders
I hardly have my wits about any longer
Since I met you
No need to make long-winded speeches
Everything’s changed both within and without
May you never move away
Any farther than a blowpipe-throw
I hardly have my wits about any longer
Since I met you
So there you are, sweet little woman
As if blown out of a blowpipe
The sky has opened up in places
Since I met you
Oh since I met you

That's nice work - not a lot I would have said differently. :-)
