She is like blackberries and cream in a diamond bowl,
Dark, sweet and irresistible
She has the key to the lock on my heart
And maybe she knows
| Precious, cute and lovable,
She might give her key for my fire that jumps, blazes,
Rages whenever her warm wind blows

She is like instant Love, just add your eyes and dreams
Natural, healthy and impregnable,
A special mother to be
I just want to know her, I'm hungry for
Blackberries and cream


I feel alive again, wanting to jump back in that strange game
Old feelings are thawing, recalling the magic of love, recalling the pain
The cynicism is stalling, falling in love, could it really happen again?
I remember the magic of love and it's nothing without the pain
I remember the magic of love and it's nothing without the pain
I remember the magic of love, so bring on the pain!


Only she can unlock my heart and scrape off the rust,
Tender, caring and dependable
Only she will hear my song and win my trust
Independent, strong and kind
She seems special, preferring love to lust
So dark, sweet and irresistible, I'm gonna bust

I know I go to extremes to share a dream, but I hope
She understands that I'm her poet-man and she's
Blackberries and cream.
