Appetite For Love
JOHN ALLEN SKINNER 1971 (Fort Worth)
Im a fish who fell in love with a lion
I live in water, she lives on land
She breaths the pure air of zion
I need h20 for I have no hands
I sit by the bank,
And wait for her to come take a drink
And when she vanishes into the jungle
Shes all I think.
She is the ruler of her kingdom
And I am the best in mine maybe evalution
Will bring us togethier over time
For her love I almost died
I jumped out of the water
Just to catch her eye.
While out of the water I blew her a kiss,
Hoping she could fall in love with a fish
I began to lose my breath
So I plunged back in, and before I knew it
I could see her hands I knew she would like me just the way I was
I finally became part of her because I got ate up by love.
