Orchids

The house on Spruce St., the church on Blanton
We sat on the steps and waited for rain

In front of my house when your brother drove off
That's when I kissed you, I stole the first one

And when the rain came, you told me of a dream
So I took you out to the middle of the street

It was there when I held you, told you I loved you
Cold and drenched but happy and free

Now I don't remember just how we got
To right where we are now, but I'll give it a shot
A bouquet of memories from all different times
It's no gerber daisies but they look just fine

I told you I'd never do what I did
And what do you know, I did it again

You've had all the right reasons to turn your back
But I thank our god that you gave me this chance

Remember that night when we walked past dark
And said all the things we had never said before

Now I don't remember just how we got
To right where we are now, but I'll give it a shot
A bouquet of memories from all different times
It's no gerber daisies, but the orchids look fine
Yeah, the orchids look fine
