Nightblooming Trilogy

Nightblooming jasmine
Nightblooming jasmine
Seeps through the crack in your window glass

Nightblooming jasmine
Nightblooming jasmine
Open your door, step out onto the porch

Nightblooming jasmine
Nightblooming jasmine
I'll let you in, if you promise me one thing
I'll let you in, if you'll be here in the morning

Nightblooming jasmine
Nightblooming jasmine
Vanishes with the sunrise
You never notice until you open your eyes

Nightblooming jasmine
Nightblooming jasmine

The woman who drank poison to keep her body frail
The woman who drank poison to keep her skin very pale
She knew the night so much more intimatеly than I

The woman who drank poison to know a harder life
Thе woman who drank poison to know a better life
She knew herself more than I know myself

The woman who drank poison to feel less at odds with death
The woman who drank poison to feel more in control of her life
She understood more than I understand

The woman who drank poison
The woman who drank poison
The woman who drank poison
The woman who drank poison

Two ends of a tunnel meet in total darkness
Will you plan to meet me there?
Noontime tomorrow, I'll be making my way
Out of the sun, towards the darkness, and towards you

There's a darker in the darkness
Is that your silhouette?
Or is it me casting a shadow on the ground?
I call out your name towards the darker in the darkness
Is that you come to meet me here?

Two ends of a tunnel meet in total darkness
Will you plan to meet me there?
