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

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
he crooked battalions drilled holes in the square
