[Verse] Basil on the window Mother's tender care From the leaf to the branch A scent filling the air [Verse 2] Wrinkles hide your stories Episodes so blue From the garden you grew A creature born anew [Chorus] You didn't know my distant mother Raising hope with hands so light Every season every summer Basil in the morning light [Verse 3] Hydrogen oxygen blend In your tender touch The salt of your anxieties They gave me so much [Bridge] Your love unspoken In each green leaf grown In a world intangible But never alone [Chorus] You didn't know my distant mother Raising hope with hands so light Every season every summer Basil in the morning light
