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
