Elvis Costello - 15 Petals lyrics

Your rating:


15 Petals 

One for every year I spent with you 

Jewels and precious metals will never do 

 

I love you twisted 

And I love you straight 

I'd write it down but I can't concentrate 

Words won't me obey they do as they please 

And all I am left with is these... 

 

15 Petals 

One for every year I spent with you 

Jewels and precious metals will never do 

 

The thorn is blunted 

And The perfume will fade 

I stand where sun is set 

I crave the shade 

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 

I'll never start 

 

Mussolini highway 

There's a frankincense tree 

I picked some up there to carry with me 

You take me to places where I never go 

I love you more than you know 

 

15 Petals 

Scattered in the path where you will tread 

15 Petals  

Of vivid red 

 

One wine-bar vamp with the polythene face

Ein Panzer Kommander with no hair in place 

The crooked battallions drilled holes in the square
