Lyrics
If I’d known you
Would arrive I
Would have worn my silver tie
Slicked my hair back
Brought champagne if
You had given me the time.
What’s your name?
You were worth the wait, my dear
Are you lost?
I won’t let you disappear
If we touch
Will I turn you sweet or sour?
If we kiss
Will it sting, my cactus flower?
I can tell you
Were an orphan
I was once an orphan, too.
Silly girl, I’m
Not a child so
Please quit playin peek-a-boo.
I believe
You were worth the wait, my dear
Now that you’ve come
I won’t watch you disappear
If we touch
Will I turn you sweet or sour?
If we kiss
Will it sting, my cactus flower?
If you want to
Be restored I’ll
Let you fall into my arms.
We will hush this
World to sleep and
We could rearrange the stars.
It’s good you’re here
You were worth the wait, my dear
Stay awhile
I won’t let you disappear
If we touch
Will you turn me sweet or sour?
If we kiss
Will it sting, my cactus flower?
Will it sting, my cactus flower?
