015. pavonia [original lyrics]
pavonia
the leaves crunch beneath your feet
as you take my hand and guide me
through the bushes
to the garden
the sun dyes your skin a familiar shade of orange
and you don’t look back
you don’t look back
you don’t look at me
the crushed petals are your perfume
your smile is a morning glory
we dine on azaleas and sweet pea
someday you will forget me
you don’t utter a word
a bouquet of orange lilies
tells me all that i need to know
you sidestep the weeds
and leave me behind
you don’t look back
you don’t look back
you don’t look at me
the crushed petals are your perfume
your smile is a morning glory
we dine on azaleas and sweet pea
someday you will forget me
the leaves crunch beneath your feet
as you take my hand and guide me
through the bushes
to the garden
the sun dyes your skin a familiar shade of orange
and you don’t look back
you don’t look back
you don’t look at me
the crushed petals are your perfume
your smile is a morning glory
we dine on azaleas and sweet pea
someday you will forget me
you don’t utter a word
a bouquet of orange lilies
tells me all that i need to know
you sidestep the weeds
and leave me behind
you don’t look back
you don’t look back
you don’t look at me
the crushed petals are your perfume
your smile is a morning glory
we dine on azaleas and sweet pea
someday you will forget me
