Anaïs Mitchell - Hadestown

Flowers (Eurydice’s Song)

What I wanted was to fall asleep
To close my eyes and disappear
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
Lily white and poppy red
I trembled when he laid me out
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
Nothing gonna wake you now
Dreams are sweet until they're not
Men are kind until they aren't
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
Is anybody listening?

I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing
Nothing gonna wake me now
Flowers, I remember fields
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
Walking in the sun
I remember someone
Someone by my side
Turned his face to mine
And then I turned away
Into the shade
You, the one I left behind
If you ever walk this way
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
