15 Petals Lyrics

I love you twisted
And I love you straight
I'd write it all down but I can't concentrate
Words won't obey me they do as they please
And all I am left with is these...
15 Petals
One for every year I spent with you
Jewels and precious metals will never do

The thorn is blunted
And 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 never go
I love you more than you know

15 Petals
Scattered in the path where you will tread
15 Petals
Of vivid red
