Long for the Flowers
Between this world and the next
I wanna locate a bit of you
Will I feel it
Or gaze in emptiness
Who'd guess
It could be so unfinished
A never ending infernal process
Yeah where is that bliss
That ordinary life that was so exquisite
You long for the flowers
I get more from the hours spent
Minutes that are free of dissent
A day without argument
You said you long for the flowers that you remember
A song sang from the shower how I used to bend words
You asked me where did all that go and I have no answer
I admit that I'm giving up hope and wondering if it can survive
One day will we just begin again
One day will we begin again
Chorus
Don't think I take lightly
The wilting we feel
I wish for surviving
But time, but time, it steals like a thief
