PURPLE ROSE
Written by Jennifer Johnson, © 2004

LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
VELVET PETALS DRIFT THRU MY FINGERS
LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
LIKE THEIR SMELL DESIRE LINGERS

PURPLE ROSE SHE FILLS THE ROOM
LOVE'S SCENT ENFOLDS AND HOLDS YOU
PURPLE ROSE SHE'S IN FULL BLOOM
HEART FILLED WITH LOVE IT OPENS TOO

LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
VELVET PETALS DRIFT THRU MY FINGERS
LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
LIKE THEIR SMELL DESIRE LINGERS

A LOVE FROM ANOTHER TIME
DRIFTS GENTLY BACK TO ME
THIS SIMPLE ROSE YET SO DIVINE
IN WHICH I SEE ETERNITY

LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
VELVET PETALS DRIFT THRU MY FINGERS
LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
LIKE THEIR SMELL DESIRE LINGERS

LOVE PASSES AND MY ROSE SHE SIGHS
STILL SOFT AND SWEET AS SHE DIES
HER HEAD TILTS GENTLY TO THE SIDE
MY ACHING SOUL IT CRIES

LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
VELVET PETALS DRIFT THRU MY FINGERS
LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
LIKE THEIR SMELL DESIRE LINGERS

AND THE PURPLE PETAL CRISP SHES DIED
LOST SOUL CONFUSED AND BLIND
PURPLE ROSE CUT FROM HER VINE
ACHING SOUL AND THE DIVINE

LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
VELVET PETALS DRIFT THRU MY FINGERS
LOVE ME LOVE ME NOT
LIKE THEIR SMELL DESIRE LINGERS
DESIRE LINGERS
