Victorian Flowers

 

You laid yourself out on a decorated dish
Victorian flowers and a good to see you kiss

Fine silver wonders where we missed forks in the curves
Sliding over there to get next to your words
History laid bare, oh that's what you heard

Soft candles and wine whisper places once touched
Hearts tremble behind trying not to seem rushed
Lace stained by good times, a prelude to lust

Victorian flowers, so much to unwind
Victorian flowers, between pages we'll find
Victorian flowers, so much to unwind
Victorian flowers, a fragrance so divine

You spread yourself out on an oriental rug
Victorian flowers, and a let me hold you hug

Bright garlands and vines, nocturnes color our hearts
Our moods intertwined, the past left in the dark
Way back in our minds, what caused us to part?

Lace curtains and wine whisper places once touched
Hearts tremble behind to avoid being rushed
This moment is fine, should passion be hushed

Victorian flowers, so much to unwind
Victorian flowers, between pages we'll find
Victorian flowers, so much to unwind
Victorian flowers, a fragrance so divine

You spread yourself out on a decorated dish
Victorian flowers and a good to see you kiss
You spread yourself out on an oriental rug
Victorian flowers and then let me hold you hug

Victorian flowers, so much to unwind
Victorian flowers, between pages we'll find
Victorian flowers, so much to unwind
Victorian flowers, a fragrance so divine

You laid yourself out on a decorated dish
Victorian flowers and a good to see you kiss
You spread yourself out on an oriental rug
