Blossom Into a Red Cherry Leaf

Verse 1

Silver horns screaming loud

You pull the blanket over your eyes

Paint on a child

Lipstick on thirteen years of winter

Running towards a ghost in a crowd

Walking through the smoke alone

Pre-Chorus

The war ended yesterday

The house is standing still

The mother waits by the gate

Chorus

Blossom into a red cherry leaf

Leaning over the harbor wall

Safe inside the fortress of her skin

Kiss on the forehead like a blessing

Blossom into a red cherry leaf

Wait for the tide to bring you back

Listen to the trumpet calling you home

(Wait for the tide to bring you back)

Verse 2

I was at the parade

Flowers in my hair and zero luck

Mircea won't speak

Shut the door when I reach out

Cold stone steps under my feet

Empty wine on a Friday night

Pre-Chorus

The war ended yesterday

The house is standing still

The mother waits by the gate

Chorus

Blossom into a red cherry leaf

Leaning over the harbor wall

Safe inside the fortress of her skin

Kiss on the forehead like a blessing

Blossom into a red cherry leaf

Wait for the tide to bring you back

Listen to the trumpet calling you home

Bridge

Be Romanian

Be stubborn with the girls you love

Learn a language no one speaks

Drink the cup

Drink it down

Trust the light behind the window

Open the latch

Let us in

Let us see

Chorus

Blossom into a red cherry leaf

Leaning over the harbor wall

Safe inside the fortress of her skin

Kiss on the forehead like a blessing

Blossom into a red cherry leaf

Wait for the tide to bring you back

Listen to the trumpet calling you home

(Wait for the tide to bring you back)
