For nights that pass faster than the days dull slow The lights on your evening road catch your gaze When gardenias line the garden maze
The center of the room greet you with drinks and rest For the world around you takes your breath and you can't resist The soft blur from a beer and lemonade
Continue your stroll and everything's changed As she is what stands in the center of the maze So you introduce her to you and the coming days
You're in love Your evening roams lead to her To feel more than whole
As your vision clears you start to see That she has put you back up for sale and for whatever reason you don't mind As she takes off with your old shirt under varying lights
For nights that pass faster than the days you remember The summer's embrace is the only grip to keep you warm As you return to the soft blurs that help you roam
Another gardenia lines the maze As you stray from prying eyes Singing to trees in a drunken haze Only to talk about what is seen as better days
