Precious Flower

Their shadows dance in the moonlight, many moments to enjoy
Their love's a stage, hes a spotlight, she's wrapped all in his almond joy
But she awakes like a mourning widow, but his scent remains
A letter lays underneath the pillow, he's off to work another day

Tell me why, mhm... she's living a lie, mhm...

She says "Precious Flower don't be gone too long!"
Said, "I can't sleep until you find your way back home!
And I know what we're doing is wrong
But I count the hours until your back in my arms!"

Oh, the bodies cradled in the night sky, another day that she degrades
Because she knows that you're mine, she always gotta have her way
And I can't stand to be alone, so I guess I'll settle
Making up these lies, drowning in your flower petals

Tell me why, mhm... I'm living a lie, mhm...

I said, "Precious Flower don't be gone too long!"
I can't sleep until you find your way back home!
And I know that you're doing wrong
But I count the hours until your back in my arms!"

Oh, yeah yeah
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie...

Oh oh
Precious Flower don't be gone too long (don't be gone now! don't be gone now!)
Said I can't sleep until you find your way back home
Oh, and I what we're doing is wrong
But I count the hours until your back in my arms, yea

I can't take it, said tell me who the hell is she
I thought we made it, said now I see its just a dream
Kiss me with lies and otherwise of where you've been
But I refuse to share you with another lover, Precious Flower!, yeah! yeah!
Oh yeah! Oh...
Said Precious Flower, yeah! yeah!
