For Flo

Im riding high on the wings of change, 
making a break from the same old same.

Shes a crimson dusk night and a blue sky morning. 
her touch turns me numb, 
she should come with a warning.

She brings traffic to stand stills and ships to stall, 
i cant pull away so in deeper i fall.

Shes a crimson dusk night and a blue sky morning. 
Her kiss turns me to jelly, 
she should come with a warning.

I hold her so tightly that i forget to breathe, 
when she whispers my name i go weak at the knees.

Shes a crimson dusk night and a blue sky morning. 
her presence keeps me warm, 
she should come with a warning.

Shes the flicker from a flame, an enigmatic random spark.
Her face is etched upon my brain, 
her life force tattooed on my heart.
