Ivory Rose

Ivory Rose, I see your eyes in the petals of my bed
They teach me more than all the highs that dance around my head
Ivory Rose, oh Ivory Rose, you fit me like a glove
Ivory Rose, you fill my garnet heart with love

You listened to my silver songs through all the diamond snows
And as the emerald leaves returned, I felt the golden glows
Of early love begin to fill my heart with treasures no one knows
You gave the spring to me with an ancient ivory rose

The love I found in your sapphire eyes is nestled into my soul
In the kisses of your ruby mouth my hollow heart grew whole
And came to know the touch that sows desire, a flower of fire that grows
And burns my pride to cinders, how I love you, Ivory Rose
