Peppermint On A Rainy Day

© 2010 Mark Cote

she hitched a ride on a bird of paradise
as her July starts to settle
collecting colors in the dreams
and painting a rainbow petal

(bridge) With a love that's made of peppermint
                and wintergree...een
                and velvet snow...ow
                and wintergreen

echoed dreams of day into night
and I never saw the sunshine
she sings a song like a bell in my night
but then she is the starlight

(chorus) Tasting like peppermint on a rainy day
                you take the clouds away
                your the sparkle within my tears
                crystal clear
                you take the clouds away
                like peppermint on a rainy day

(instrumental)
(bridge)

we dance like keys in a song
with an unfamiliar tempo
pushed away all the lonely days
no subtle innuendo
(chorus)
