15 Petals |
|
One for every year I spent with you |
|
Jewels and precious metals will never do |
|
I love you twisted |
|
And I love you straight |
|
I'd write it down but I can't concentrate |
|
Words won't obey they do as they please |
|
And all I am left with are these... |
|
15 Petals |
|
One for every year I spent with you |
|
Jewels and precious metals will never do |
|
The thorn is blunted |
|
The perfume will fade |
|
I stand where sun is set |
|
I crave the shade |
|
Down in the tavern with Mary and Joe |
|
Palms reached for alms as they throw |
|
15 Petals |
|
One for every hour that we're apart |
|
Tears and useless battles |
|
I'll never start |
|
Mussolini highway |
|
There's a frankincense tree |
|
I picked some up there to carry with me |
|
You take me to places where I'd never go |
|
I love you more than you know |
|
15 Petals |
|
Scattered in the path where you will tread |
|
15 Petals |
|
Of vivid red |
|
One wine-bar vamp with the polythene face |
|
Ein Panzer Kommander with no hair in place |
|
The crooked battalions drilled holes in the square |
