Honeysuckle Rose - Henry ‘Red’ Allen, Kid Ory

Two hearts fading, like a flower

And all this waiting, for the power

For some answer, to this fire

Sinking slowly.

The water’s higher

Desire

With no secrets

No obsession

This time I’m speeding with no direction

Without a reason

What is this fire?

Sinking slowly

My one and only

Desire

You know me

You don’t mind waiting

You just can’t show me, but God I’m praying

That you’ll find me

and that you’ll see me

That you run and never tire

Desire
