Bloom for Me

Lyrics

[Intro]
Hothouse air and pale moonlight
You hold yourself so closed, so tight
A patient stem against the night
Waiting for the coming light

[Verse 1]
I watch the velvet green unfurling
See the secret worlds you're holding
Every promise you're protecting
Heavy with the morning dew
I only have my eyes on you

[Chorus]
So bloom for me, a little slow
A private, perfumed picture show
Unfurl the blush I have to know
And when the season starts to go
We'll love the art of letting go
Just wilt with me, my love, my rose

[Verse 2]
The night-blooming cereus on the vine
The clock upon the wall strikes nine
A scent that's almost too divine
A sweetness that's a fragile sign
That this one moment will be mine
a beautiful design

[Chorus]
So bloom for me, a little slow
A private, perfumed picture show
Unfurl the blush I have to know
And when the season starts to go
We'll love the art of letting go
Just wilt with me, my love, my rose

[Bridge]
Most people only want the peak
The perfect petal on the cheek
They turn away when things get weak
When edges brown and futures bleak
But I want the sigh, the final streak
The beauty that the fallen speak

[Chorus]
So bloom for me, a little slow
A private, perfumed picture show
Unfurl the blush I have to know
And when the season starts to go
We'll love the art of letting go
Just wilt with me, my love, my rose

[Outro]
Let the petals fall like snow
Just wilt with me...
Don't let me go...
