Cherry Lips

Verse 1

Woke up in a painted room

The wallpaper was breathing slow

I traced a pattern with my thumb

And watched the morning overflow

Pre-Chorus

You were humming something soft and low

I forgot the words I used to know

Chorus

Cherry lips against the window

Cherry lips and summer rain

I keep your name inside my pocket

Cherry lips and I'm home again

Verse 2

The accordion man on the corner

Played a waltz that nobody knew

I handed him a silver dollar

He said boy this one's for you

Pre-Chorus

We were younger than the grass that grew

I forgot the years but not the view

Chorus

Cherry lips against the window

Cherry lips and summer rain

I keep your name inside my pocket

Cherry lips and I'm home again

Bridge

Time is a river that forgets its name

Time is a garden that grows in the rain

Time is a stranger who waves from a train

Chorus

Cherry lips against the window

Cherry lips and summer rain

I keep your name inside my pocket

Cherry lips and I'm home again

Post-Chorus

La la la la cherry lips

La la la la summer rain

La la la la cherry lips

And I'm home again
