I ring your doorbell
Though I come empty handed
I had wanted to bring you
Something beautiful
 
I ring your doorbell
Though I come empty handed
I had wanted to bring you
Something beautiful
All of the blossoms
In the garden were wilted
Afternoon hesitation
Something beautiful
 
Something to show you
What I’m trying to tell you here
All of the words
I have gathered before disappear
 
I step back waiting
Though I don’t hear you coming
Maybe I could still bring you
Something beautiful
Waiting for moments
Into days and forever
Growing old on your doorstep
Something beautiful
 
Something to show you
What I most want to tell you here
All of the reasons
I have gathered before disappear
 
I ring your doorbell
Though I come empty handed
I had wanted to bring you
Something beautiful
