Blue Orchids

[Verse 1]

The ancient streets so crowded and narrow

Winding stairs climb up, up high

The air tonight hangs sour and heavy

I'm dying up here, love, lie with me, lie

[Verse 2]

The view electrical and sprawling

The city lights move out and on and on

Out there in the halo of the skyline

My guardian angel looks down upon me

[Bridge]

Fall tonight, sweet Paris rain

Shower me in her warm kisses

[Verse 3]

A burning star over long lost highway

My fallen lover died so young

And all the gifts you gave, I have them

And all your love I'm still holding onto

[Verse 4]

She rides the halo of the skyline

My fallen sister died so young

Our last goodbye, I wanted to be there

To bathe the loss from your fading eyes

[Bridge]

Close these sweeping, long, gray curtains

Dizzying, spiraling heights

[Verse 5]

Soft light pours into the room

Fingers glide over my face, a voice speaks, a figure moves

How could I walk these old dim halls again?

How could I leave this room all alone?

[Verse 6]

When she comes by every morning

Brings back pink and pale blue orchids

When she comes by every afternoon

Piano music weeps quietly as May melts into June

[Bridge]

When she comes by every evening

Lays down beside me softly breathing
