Okanagan Peach

Lyrics

I was an Okanagan peach So ripe and so sweet For you I was a shot in the dark A string of the heart So taut I broke in two Extraordinary machine Bite my knuckles till they bleed As you drink from the fountain of youth I count the words on each page Of my compendium of pain 'Til I'm not scared of telling the truth Ooh Ooh I was an anchor in place An old turn of phrase For you Dolores holding my hand My knees are weak as I stand On a midnight SkyTrain And I am lost in my head On busy streets and my bed Painting different dimensions I could be loving, spiteful mother-wife Or husband under covers white Balloons in the backyard It's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now
