Lucien Spelman Passion Flower
(1) I would ride my heart On my shirt sleeve For her to believe. Theres a child in me, With a burn, To dirty his knees. And, Ive held my tongue For the right words, And the right way. And, Ive held my time For her left hand, On the right day. (CHORUS) She gave me, a passionflower tonight. She gave me, a passionflower tonight. (2) But, soft, What yonder Light breaks? Theres a moon In the melody, Filling the night With a sweet silence. A sweet silence. And she showed me What music was like, With soft pale hands In the soft pale moonlight, And eyes so old. She showed me the notes Of the softly played tune That is filling the room. (CHORUS) (BACK TO 1) (CHORUS)
