Feeling of Beauty

Driving without destination
Leaving our clothes there on the bank and
Swimming in a river with no name
The crazy way the motor jangles
Talking to somebody ain’t got no angles
Somebody meeting somebody halfway
Every once in awhile, the feeling of beauty
Catches my breath, runs right through me
If you don’t mind, I’ll stay on another couple of days
Finding out just what you’re made of
A stretch of green grass made to make love
Racing stripes and hurricanes
The few things really worth knowing
Like where you think that red bird’s going
And no illusions on a clear day
Every once in awhile, the feeling of beauty
Catches my throat, runs right through me
If you don’t mind, I’ll stay on another couple of days
Doing right when it’s not easy
Calling out without thinking
Something sweet you just wanted to say
I’m alright, thanks for asking
Still got a few hopes in my basket
Light in the kitchen still on real late
I love the way that screen door catches
A stranger with a pack of matches
And starting out when I don’t know the way
And every once in a while, the feeling of beauty
Catches my heart, runs right through me
If you don’t mind, I’ll stay on another couple of days
If it’s alright with you, I’ll stay on another couple of days
