15 Petals

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 Id write it down but I cant concentrate Words wont 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 Jane Palms reached for alms as they throw 15 Petals... One for every hour that were apart Tears and useless battles Ill never start Mussolini highway Theres a frankincense tree I picked some up there to carry with me You take me to places where Id 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 crowded battallions drilled holes in the square
