VERSE
first thing on the shelf,bottom row, easy reach,no ribbon, no parade,no grand speech.just a little red,two seconds on the glass.i bloom, i bow,i let the moment pass.
CHORUS
send me once, send me small,one coin, that's all,but a rose that someone meantis a fortune, fully spent.
VERSE
they send me from the night shift,from the bus, in the rain,one tap of a thumb,saying it plain.a hundred of me fallingsoft across the stream,i'm how the quiet ones say i'm herewithout making a scene.
CHORUS
send me once, send me small,one coin, that's all,but a rose that someone meantis a fortune, fully spent.
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
let the lions have their thunder,let the whole sky spend,i was never here to stop the room,only to reach a friend.
CHORUS
send me once, send me small,one coin, that's all,but a rose that someone meantis a fortune, fully spent.and if all i am is little,then little's what i'm for,one rose, given gladly,i've never needed more.
OUTRO
send me once, send me small,one coin, that's all.
