Charleston Rose

from Whispered History EP by Yaupon

/

lyrics

I stumbled upon a strange beauty
And in a town I’d never strolled before
She whispered history just like she knew me
Until I came in closer wanting more

You might have me wrapped up
And my dollars are out

Are you my Charleston rose
Will you hold up forever or wither out of fold
Be my little Charleston rose
And remind both of us of forever ago

I was enamored and titillated
Under palmettos with their nosy eyes
Her shape had focused from gentle blades
Into ethereal weaving like a prize
And in that moment I just had to cave in
Just like old Rico had told me so

You might have me wrapped up
And my dollars are out

Are you my Charleston rose
Will you hold up forever or wither out of fold
Be my little Charleston rose
If I’m sent upriver will you keep up whole
In our luggage baby, I don’t know
When I see you next will it be familiar
Keep green my Charleston rose
And remind both of us of forever ago

Be my little Charleston rose
