Bittersweet Cherries

Billowing smoke hides your blue eyes
 You are an enigma to me
 An element of surprise
 The hunters prey
 But you escape them every time
 We sit on the roof and watch the city burn
 Your summer thighs glisten
 You defy the night so pretty and I yearn
 You are the muse
 I am the musician
 I will sing for you
 Through the gloom
 Beauty will flood me
 What a lovely monsoon
 I will sing for you
 Through and through
 Bittersweet cherries on the rooftop with Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Bittersweet cherries on the rooftop with Mary
 From way up here it's like I died
 From way up here it's finally quiet
 Like statued angels with wings tied
 In lights of neon violet
 The smell of cherry blossoms in the air
 You wave your wrist
 Without a care
 With a flick of your cigarette
 I watch the cherry explode below
 I will sing for you
 Through the gloom
 Beauty will flood me
 What a lovely monsoon
 I will sing for you
 Through and through
 Bittersweet cherries on the rooftop with Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Bittersweet cherries on the rooftop with Mary
 I love it up here
 I will sing for you
 Through the gloom
 Beauty will flood me
 What a lovely monsoon
 I will sing for you
 Through and through
 Bittersweet cherries on the rooftop with Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Ooo Mary Mary
 Bittersweet cherries on the rooftop with Mary
