Lyrics

When the night is low and the sun has burned away
And the moon has released its shadows
And I've thrown away another day
I say, take me down below where I might remember you
I swear, no one knows my name
But I couldn't care less anyway

Blonde orchid
A smuggler's jewel
It's much easier to steal your beauty
Than shape it from the soil
Blonde orchid
A living jewel
There will always be a place for two lovers in this world
Blonde orchid

Be careful what you poach
The seeds of your desire may require an arid land,
New, expensive tools
There's so much you can lose
Blonde orchid

When the time is right and I've learned to dance more slowly
And I've got you in my arms
And I've let everything else go
Hold my outstretched hand
For it now only has one use
I would rather die alone
Than let you down in any way

Chorus

Be careful what you poach
The seeds of your desire may require an arid land,
New, expensive tools
There's so much we can lose
Blonde orchid
