lyrics

Sweet Basil
(E.Frencham)

Your sweet basil left on my shelf
full of fragrant memory
when we tasted friendship
a midnight meal and the music of a moonlit sea

Your sweet basil cupped in my palm
so I can slowly drink it in
soothes my senses
every nerve that grieves for the loss of your skin

I can't look at the photos we took
I can't listen to the songs we played
But I think I'll sprinkle sweet basil on my lunch today

King Cole on my stereo
crooning lazy memory
when we sang of friendship
a song of steel in a storm-water drain by the sea

King Cole melting velvet so warm
like the voice you left in me
fills my senses
every word returns like a melody

I can't look at the photos we took
I can't listen to the songs we played
But I think I'll sprinkle sweet basil on my lunch today

Your sweet basil left on my shelf
full of fragrant memory
when we tasted friendship
a midnight meal and the music of a moonlit sea

Your sweet basil blessing me still
Even though you've gone away
Heals my senses
Tasting tomorrow while swallowing yesterday
