Purple Lips

Purple Lips
(Nico)

He reminds all the laughter
That has left me going down
And my heart is falling silently
Into the driving evening sound

Sometimes we must keep from bringing
Certain thoughts into the light
And a matter of the winning
In a case of two lips lies

I have been looking out for him
From over his broken bridge
The safest place it seems to be
To ever reach his purple lips

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

Thank you.
