Jason Webley - Patches lyrics

rate me

I wear a silken flower on my shoulder

An orchid made of velvet & of lace

Cuz a hard wind, drivin' through my garden

Of its carousals left relentless trace

In broken stems & darkened leaves

This autumn I wear a silken flower in their place

My marble god lies broken in the garden

But I will patch him till he looks like new

So people will not guess that he is shattered

A lifeless Eros made of stone & glue

& since I’ve learned to patch, you needn’t luv me

If for a while you will pretend you do
