lyrics

the orchid in the summertime
has no need for ermine
for velvet, for lace
it bends and sways
blooms and stays


I need you to notice me
put your hand on my hair
you're a hunter, and there's a sparrow
with a beak like an arrow.


I'll wear crimson
I'll be real still
you're not far
I'll pull you towards the center here


don't bother to leave me a trail
the dark is like lightening and voices are loud
i'll know you by the bones in your finger



the orchid in the summertime
has no need for ermine
for velvet or lace
it bends and sways
blooms and stays
