Lyrics
Blank Page
There were fresh flowers on the window sill
That was something she used to do
I would breathe in her colors until I had my fill
She'd say - I put them there - just for you
I would hear her sing the morning sun
And put love in a cup of tea
I would write each word to a simple poem
As if love - is something - she made for me
Blank page no words for loss just a pen against the dark
Blank page it's an empty stage words to mend a aching heart
The tears still fall for all those words I didn't say
How could I describe her kiss?
When shadows fall and I've spent the day
Thinking of her and all I miss
Blank page no words for loss just a pen against the dark
Blank page it's an empty stage words to mend a aching heart
I can find no meaning when there should be meaning still
Just empty words carved on my heart
The poet writes 'dying flowers on a window sill'
Having her love - was the - better part
Having her love - was the - better part
Now she lives here within my heart
I'm just a poet looking for a word to start
On a blank page I write
There were fresh flowers on the window sill
That was something she used to do
I would breathe in her colors until I had my fill
She'd say - I put them there - just for you
