「Maraschino Cherry」

[verse] Things that used to scare me There were quite a few Now I stop and wonder How I feel them through [pre-chorus] Order Tom Collins at the bar A single cherry in the glass [chorus] Maraschino cherry Dim lights in the bar Red and round and sweet and soft Gently lights my drink That’s all… still enough [verse] Walking through the city night Still not used to it Echoes from my footsteps Stretch the space a bit [pre-chorus] Tom Collins goes down my throat Fresh, a little bitter, cold [chorus] Maraschino cherry Blue and dark and cold Concrete under neon glow Streetlights softly round That’s all… still enough [bridge] Wooden counter feels so warm Round coasters with a logo drawn You sip whiskey next to me Cheeks a little flushed from drinks “Won’t you eat the cherry?” That’s what you ask me I save it for the very end [chorus] Maraschino cherry Brown and soft and warm Fingers brushing through your hair No more cherry red That’s all… still enough [final chorus] Maraschino cherry Blue and dark and cold Concrete streets beneath my feet Slightly drunken face That’s all… still enough [outro] That’s enough to walk the night My maraschino cherry
