Spelman Lucien - Passion Flower

(1)
I would ride my heart
On my shirt sleeve
For her to believe.
Theres a child in me,
With a burn,
To dirty his knees.
And, Ive held my tongue
For the right words,
And the right way.
And, Ive held my time
For her left hand,
On the right day.

(CHORUS)
She gave me, a passionflower tonight.
She gave me, a passionflower tonight.

(2)
But, soft,
What yonder
Light breaks?
Theres a moon
In the melody,
Filling the night
With a sweet silence.
A sweet silence.
And she showed me
What music was like,
With soft pale hands
In the soft pale moonlight,
And eyes so old.
She showed me the notes
Of the softly played tune
That is filling the room.

(CHORUS)
