Blue Orchids

Lyrics

[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
