one for every year i spent with you
jewels and precious metals will never do
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
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
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
scattered in the path where you will tread
one wine-bar vamp with the polythene face
ein panzer kommander with no hair in place
the crooked battalions drilled holes in the square
