Peppermint Tea (Acoustic)

She walked in with the sweet aroma of peppermint tea
He was chewing on an old-fashioned stick of Wrigley's
Attracted by the sweet mint scent
He spoke up and asked her name

Peppermint the name she'd say
Yet quickly query what's it matter anyway
Why do you ask
Why do you care
Are you here to take me away?

Walking the ditch road where he occasionally drove
He would help her pick peppermint and wild rose
But tonight he walked alone out there
Gathering what is needed for a love elixir

Add just enough proof
To get anyone to tell the truth
Why do you ask
Why do you care
Are you here to take me away?

She sipped the concoction of peppermint tea
While he impatiently chewed on a Wrigley's
Seems that the tea was a bit too strong
As she gasped a last breath asking what he'd done

Peppermint is my poison she'd say
I know it would catch up to me one of these days
Why do you ask
Why would you care
Are you here to take me away?
