Soul of a Poet Lyrics

Pour me another red, she says

This'll be the last one for tonight

I pour her one but she puts it aside

She pulls me close and holds me tight

Then she says that I have the soul of a poet

The face of an angel and the touch of a man

But tonight she can't hide it

Though she tried not to show it

She can no longer do what her heart won't command

She tells me a story, and I listen

About a man who sent her away

And wanting to move on just isn't enough

Or an option

And so she won't let me stay

But she says that I have the soul of a poet

The face of an angel and the touch of a man

But tonight she can't hide it

Though she tried not to show it

She can no longer do what her heart won't command

The stories we tell ourselves won't go away

Though we want them to

Yeah we want them to

And each time we tell them

We think about

What might have been

But never will come true

So pour me another red and listen

This'll be the first thing I've done right

Cause I'll hate myself tomorrow

If I let you love me tonight

But I'll say that you have the soul of a poet

The face of an angel and a touch from above

But there's nothing to do and I think we both know it

Cause the fact of it is I was never in love

I'll say that you have the soul of a poet

The face of an angel and a touch from above

But there's nothing to do and I think we both know it

Cause the fact of it is I was never in love

And the fact of it is she was never in love

And the truth of it is it just goes on and on
