Bilingual
Just before it rains
And the wind weeps 'round the balcony
And the sky closes
On the English roses
She'll be placing
Around and 'round and 'round and 'round the room
These storms always find
Somebody gonna care
ย
To the endless sky
The pink of the gray
She looks for answers
But it's too late
Well maybe it's true
Some things were just never meant to be
Maybe not
But maybe
This is a story
Of fruit cut from the vine
Forgotten, left to rot
Long before its time
This is a story
About the girl who lived next door
Looking for someone to hold
ย
A wish made on a star
Watered here tonight
In the courtyard she waits
A thousand broken dates
But she holds the hymnal
So carefully pressed
As the English rose
She may just rest
ย
Tell me a story
Flowers in full bloom
Bouquets in every room
This is a story
About fruit cut from the vine
Looking for someone to hold
