Lyrics
Bottlebrush Tree
A cold snap dropped in for the evening
I offered up a pot of ginger peach tea
Baked a banana bread inside the oven
To sweeten my sad taste of lonely
I once had a man who read me poetry
I once had a man who wrote me songs
I once had a man who brought me to my knees
And more than one who did me wrong
I took to the road
Like some girls take a lover
I took to the South to flee the cold
Loyalty to the road just kept me moving
And allowed my future to unfold
It brought me the man who read me poetry
It brought me the man who wrote me songs
It brought me the man who brought me to my knees
And more than one who did me wrong
My window looks out on a bottlebrush tree
That blew over four times with the storms
The roots spread wide 'cross the cap rock
Adapting function to twisted form, to twisted form, to twisted form
Bring me a man who reads me poetry
Bring me a man who writes me songs
Bring me a man whose love is pure and sweet
Bring me a man whose love is strong
The sky is clear and the stars are bright
I wouldn't mind a little bit of love tonight
To cover me a like a quilt of down
Warmth and comfort to just wrap around
Bring me a man who reads me poetry
Bring me a man who writes me songs
Bring me a man whose love is pure and sweet
Bring me a man whose love is strong
Bring me man who reads me poetry
Bring me a man who writes me songs
Bring me man I can love pure and sweet
Who's not afraid of a woman who's too strong
