lyrics

YELLOW GARDENIAS

I found you in the middle of an Indonesian market place
The sun shone diamonds upon your face
You drew upon my heart and left a trace
And then you sang a sweet refrain
Of yellow gardenias in the rain

We lost ourselves
In the space between the sunset and the wet rice fields
Where holy priests, dance among the temples where one they kneeled
A kiss as sweet as sugar cane
In the yellow gardenias in the rain

You gave me your heart
Underneath a mango tree
Built an altar at my head
And pushed my mind into the sea
I always knew I'd find you in this crazy land
God blew smoke into my soul
I found my self within the sand

We said a prayer as we looked for ceremonies in the stars above
And the crazy wind, whispered of the way we used to love
And perhaps we'll find it once again
In the yellow gardenias in the rain
