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
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
