Strawflower's Waltz

Chris Bathgate

Compositor: Chris Bathgate

In the balmy breath
In the backwoods of Magnolia
Me and my love we lay
Me and my love
We linger

And this room's been kept for 3 days
And the scent that blazed across my face
As she had cracked the window
Strawflowers

In the catalyst calm
In the comfort of a coated awn
In a field that I loom
In a field where it started
We lay in the deepest green
Ten years since I'd last seen
You are a thorny bird
Strawflower
