lyrics

Fresh basil wafting out the oven
What happens when dough and some mozzarella do some loving
A match in heaven sure to be true
A smell In my life since ’42
Those times when the only thing that ever mattered was nothing

Fresh basil growing in the garden
Handing my mother the leaves as we all reaped the harvest
Of the love and traditions, both young and old
The warmth and the peace kept inside our home
Who ever knew smashing tomatoes could be so harmless?

Fresh basil, I thought you were the one
These things that once brought me joy, now it’s no longer fun
The weight of the business is crashing down
Try to stay alive in this lonely town
Where the only thing anyone asks is for more parmesan

Fresh basil, I wish I could push you away
These things that once brought me money, now it’s nothing but pain
The pools back in Syracuse call again
No journal, my thoughts serve as pad and pen
My wife left my side, no son to pass the name, it’s the end

Fresh basil, no, it’s not my time
So until the day that I die, I’ll be sipping white wine
Drinking alone til I go insane
We’re open until 10, whether sun or rain
Take me back before life started, need a fresh start on mine
