"A Red Bowl" by Krista Detor. (I had to type up the lyrics myself because they don't have them online.)
Green limes in a red bowl
On a table
And I don’t know what you’re calling for.
Green limes in a red bowl
On a table
And I don’t know what you’re calling for.
If I had a dime for every drop of rain
If I had a million-dollar name,
Would you like me better?
Would it all be better?
Blue bird on the fence post
By the hostas
And I don’t know what you’re calling for.
Blue bird on the fence post
By the hostas
And I don’t know what you’re calling for.
If I had a house in the city
And a man who answered my door,
And your pretty picture,
Would it all look better?
Red coat on the white chair
By the front door
And I don’t know what you’re calling for.
Red coat on the white chair
By the front door
And I don’t know what you’re calling for.
If I promised I’d love him forever
Could it all be better?
Such a pretty picture.
If I had a dime for every drop of rain,
If I had a million-dollar name,
And fortune and fame,
Could it all be…?
Could he love me…?
Green limes in a red bowl
On a table
And I don’t know what you’re calling for.
