Flowers

My body is a tree
And if autumn claims my leaves
Branches bare in winter's glare
There's no shelter left for me
And oh, my father cries
As he looks me in the eyes

From watermelon stone
Well I heard you built a home
Furnished it with lavendar
Filled it with flesh and bone

And the birds
They flew
Stocks
Brand new

Lavendar blue
All that's good I stole from you
A faceless gain
Lavendar black
Shake the devil from your back
And I'll take your weight

Said the seemstress without thread
To the actor void of verse
Hold your tongue, your time will come
Just let me have mine first
And her word
Rang true
Yes it did
For you
Lavendar blue
All that's good I stole from you
A faceless gain
Lavendar black
Shake the devil from your back
And I'll take your weight

Never asked her
There are flowers where we lay
Never asked her
Never asked her
There are flowers where we lay
Never asked her

Never asked her
There are flowers where we lay
I never asked her
Never asked her
There are flowers where we lay
I never asked her
