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 the 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
