Blackberry Champagne

Lay your spinning head my love
Heavy on my arm
Dark the night, cold the ride
Can dreams keep you warm

Coin shaped wound upon your palm
Open to the stars, the burn where love
Enters the blood
Will always leave a scar

Can't deny that
We were loved and lost
But you were rich and
So you paid the cost

Spring lurks near, like lions hunt
Down city streets, drift iris scent
School was sad, we said goodbye to phony love
And suck up's lies

Bottles burst on pavement prayers
Like roses in the Spring
And candles spill smoked and drowned
By blackberry champagne

Dark ride home, the taxi's here
Slipped in the snow and pulled me over
I said, "Please just stay with me
Remember you were once a friend?"

I know that this will someday end
The spring hunt starts, when morning light
Floats in on the breeze, expensive things
Strewn all around are gathered as you leave

For you I lived
When you were around
But three days would pass
Before I was found

I said please don't wait for me
Cause I'm not ready for that heat
But then she'd whistle
From the street
