When She Comes - Prince

When she comes, always unexpected

But never-rejected surprise

It’s always a shock when he undoes the lock

And she’s there without a care

When she comes

The house is always a mess

She’s cool nevertheless and here’s why

She remains, as we say, a sweet bird of prey

She flies and she’s satisfied

When she comes

A lemoncello ballet

A psychedelic cabaret in his mind

Without further ado he takes off her shoes

And whatever confines

When she comes

A blue bed of roses, she never closes her eyes

For his artful technique deserves a peek

Call it sublime, 'cause it happens

When she comes

So, oh, sweet the taste

The tears that roll down her face

Don’t cry

Though sad first sight, they are filled with delight

The fourth of July

When she comes
