Basil by Tejay Lyrics

I stroll the boulevard in Autumn
Cruel streets and cold nights
The shadows creep upon us,
Despite the bold lights

Sirens blare, dismay and despair
So much in the air, you’d think me crazed, I suppose
If I told, right over there
I spotted a charming rose

What a sight to see
I was truly captivated
From the concrete
Grew the object of my fascination

Reached down to grab it, said “I simply must have it”, how vain
Then jerked back and exclaimed in pain
