Oh Jacaranda, how you haunt me so
A cold and bitter taste of iced tea on my tongue
As your leaves fall down and adorn my hair

Oh Jacaranda, how you entice me so
Invite me under your wooden archways
Like a fairy I sat in your branches, soft giggles echoing on a hill

Oh Jacaranda, how you transport me so
I'm in another world when I walk near you
A warm and affectionate caress on my cheek
As the sun's rays filter through your purple leaves

Oh Jacaranda, how you delight me so
Invite all the creatures to skitter across a lilac floor
Watching all the bunnies appear and disappear
Ducks that fly in and want to interfere

Oh Jacaranda, how you follow me so
Everywhere I go, everywhere we go
Is this a sign? To accept what could be mine?
I don't want this to be a dream

Purple
Is what I see
When I'm with you

On our path
In my hair
On the stairs
In my hands
