Petals in the Poetry

[Intro]
[Verse]
Morning light on the floor
Bell rings at the door
Wurlitzer humming low
Watching the traffic flow
You step inside the room
Breaking the dusty gloom
Handing me leather bound
Without a single sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Jasmine on your sleeve
A scent you always leave
(Ooh, you always leave)
I take the heavy stack
And wait for you to come back
[Chorus]
Pressed sunflowers in the spine
Are you reading my mind?
Between the lines of Keats
Where every rhythm beats
Gold petals on the page
Setting my heart center stage
Yellow notes left for me
Hidden in the poetry
[Post-Chorus]
So sweet, so slow
(Honey in the mid-range)
Now I finally know
Where the sunflowers go
[Verse]
Ink smudged on the edge
Resting on the ledge
I fix the broken glue
Thinking of only you
The paper’s thin and old
But stories yet untold
I find another bloom
Inside this quiet room
[Pre-Chorus]
Jasmine on your sleeve
A scent you always leave
(Ooh, you always leave)
I take the heavy stack
And wait for you to come back
[Chorus]
Pressed sunflowers in the spine
Are you reading my mind?
Between the lines of Keats
Where every rhythm beats
Gold petals on the page
Setting my heart center stage
Yellow notes left for me
Hidden in the poetry
[Bridge]
It’s not just a hobby
In this quiet lobby
The trombone starts to swell
Under your magic spell
I see the pattern now
Wiping sweat from my brow
Every flower is a sign
That you want to be mine
[Solo]
[Verse]
You brought the Rilke today
Nothing much left to say
But the flower’s still warm
Like a port in a storm
I catch your eyes in the glass
Watching the minutes pass
You smile and turn away
I’ll see you another day
[Chorus]
Pressed sunflowers in the spine
Are you reading my mind?
Between the lines of Keats
Where every rhythm beats
Gold petals on the page
Setting my heart center stage
Yellow notes left for me
Hidden in the poetry
[Post-Chorus]
So sweet, so slow
(Honey in the mid-range)
Now I finally know
Where the sunflowers go
[Outro]
