Peonies at Dawn


Click here for a raw recording

The sunlight bounces off your cheeks in the morning, looks like peonies at dawn,
I love to see your hair open and flowing, but you tie it in a bun,
When you touch me I feel my blood rushing, and I rush to write a song,
I sing for you and I see you blushing, look like peonies at dawn…

Woah-oh,
I’m gonna show up at your door,
With hot dogs and mayonnaise,
Yeah-yeah-yeah,
Woah-woah-oh,
Woah-oh,
I’ll bring you peonies at dawn…
Vocalising (peonies at dawn) X 2
Woah-oh
I’ll play the guitar as you sing along…

You hold me tight on my bike when we’re riding, straight into the sunset,
You extend your hands like rose, say “Jack, I’m flying” , as we race against the wind,
As the sky goes dark and the stars come out of hiding, you kiss me on the forehead,
You are the best thing that ever happened to me, wish this moment never ends…

Woah-oh,
I’ve never felt this way before,
So I get down on one knee,
Yeah-yeah-yeah,
Woah-woah-oh,
Woah-oh,
I’ll bring you peonies at dawn…

Vocalising (Peonies at dawn) (And then you sing along) 
(Ambulance sirens)

Woah-oh,
I’m sorry I won’t make it home,
Even though that’s where I belong,
I just wanna melt into your arms,
But now I’m singing from the,
Sta-ah-ah-ah-ars,
P.S., I love you,
Woah-oh,
I wish I could show up at your door,
With a bouquet of peonies…
I know life ain’t fair,
You’re everything I want,
Woah-oh,
Baby, I’m not gone,
I’ll be the star you see at dawn,
I’ll be the star you see at dawn,
I’ll be the star you see at dawn,

I’ll be the star you see at dawn…
