Poetry in Motion Songtext
von James Reyne

It used to be hard for me to feel at ease
I need my freedom
To come and go as I please
With you I opened up quicker than a shopping mall
Now I′m in your hands, and that is all

All these memories I hold onto
Fall away when you're around


[Chorus]
You′re poetry in motion
Your words are like an ocean
Washing over me when you call my name
When I'm lost, you find me
I feel you right behind me
You whisper in my ear
And I hear you say:
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everything's gonna be okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

I′ve been known to drink a few too many beers
And lately, all these days apart
Are starting to feel like years
Sometimes I look at you and say, "Who′s this?"
You're the million dollar question, baby
I can′t afford to miss

All those answers that I search for
Were sleeping right inside me all along

[Chorus]

Right away
I knew you were the one
Who'd keep me in line
Who′d keep me alive
In the face of my own faults

[Chorus]
