Khula, khula, in the dark you rise (версия 2)

Verse

Porch light humming, moth on the screen

Watering can waits on the counter clean

Petals shut tight like a hand in a fist

Kitchen window fogging with the last of the mist

Pre-Chorus

Does it wait for the hush to fall

Does it know when I lock the hall

Clock ticks slow but the bud stays tense

Something wakes when the noise goes dense

Chorus

Khula, khula, in the dark you rise

Root to the water, wide to the skies

Petals uncurling under kitchen light

Khula, khula, bloom the night

Verse

Kettle steam curls on the cold glass pane

Bare feet cross the floor again

Same four steps to the sill and back

Counting petals, keeping track

Pre-Chorus

Does it need me here to grow

Or just the dark I can't let go

Clock strikes two but I stay awake

Something in me needs this ache

Chorus

Khula, khula, in the dark you rise

Root to the water, wide to the skies

Petals uncurling under kitchen light

Khula, khula, bloom the night

Bridge

Maybe I'm not waiting on the flower at all

Maybe it's me who needs this wall

Between the rest I chase and the rest I lose

Between the leaving and the choosing to stay

Chorus

Khula, khula, in the dark you rise

Root to the water, wide to the skies

Petals uncurling under kitchen light

Khula, khula, bloom the night

Outro

Porch light dims when the petals show

Kitchen quiet, and I finally know

Khula, khula, soft and slow

Home is just where the dark ones grow
