Down-home Aphrodite
She was a down-home Aphrodite and her eyes were like the seaAnd the minute that I saw her, lord, she had the best of meAnd I said ‘Darling...won’t you let me take you home?Because the night is dark, and faith is thin,And ‘though I don’t know where you’ve beenThis world ain’t a place for a woman all alone.’I said ‘let me be your Vulcan’, she said ‘honey what’s your angle?’I said ‘ain’t got no angle at all...I’m just looking for a woman who knows how to roll the diceAnd who doesn't give one good god-damn ‘bout where the cards may fall.’She was a down-home Aphrodite with the starlight in her hairAnd the minute that I saw her, lord, I knew it wasn’t fairAnd I said ‘Darling...can I worship at your shrine?Because I need your style, I need your grace,I need to touch a holy placeI need to see a chance for me to make you mine.’Call her Venus on the mountainAmphitrite by the seaShe's Hera in the wedding bedDiana on her kneesPersephone in darknessDemeter in the light --She's my down-home Aphrodite and she’ll make it all all right...Letras de cancionesShe was a down-home Aphrodite and the world was in her smileAnd the minute that I saw her, lord, I knew I’d stay a whileAnd I said ‘Darling...will you be my shining star?Because I’ll die for you, just set the taskI’ll do whatever deeds you askJust tell me I’m allowed to stay right where you are.’I said ‘let me be your Vulcan’, she said ‘honey what’s your angle?’I said ‘ain’t got no angle at all...I’m just looking for an angel who can fly the friendly skiesAnd who doesn’t give one good god-damn ‘bout how far we may fall!’Call her Venus on the mountainAthena in the woodsShe’s Circe when you’re badAnd she’ll be Iris if you’re goodCassandra for your future --Clio for your past --She’s my down-home Aphrodite and she’ll take me home at last.She’s my down-home Aphrodite come on take me home at last.Written on: 2000-08-11.
