Strawberry Road - Sam Phillips

shotgun alleys with lightning flowers

under the eyes of fallen statues

dry blood they’ve never seen

pain is sharper when i suspecy

that true love runs looking for us like a lion in our dreams

the strawberry road

where the dream fades

is down between our longing and desire

the strawberry road

there our hearts break into love

you censor longing and organize beauty

because you’re afraid

you want it more than oxygen or light

you can’t get there with your morals

or without love

lie down with me the rules aren’t always right

call it romance or nostalgia

this hunder behind our memories

we’ve buried it in code

the things we’ve wanted

when we get them are never enough

never what they seem

but they lead us to the road
