The Passion Song

Did you really say no?
Well, I thought you meant yes
There were shadows in your hair
There were flowers on your dress
And the flowers grew wild
And the shadows grew thin
You were happy as a child
Dancing in the wind
Then the flowers turned red
And the shadows grew tall
Did I make you disappear?
Were you here at all?
Oh how it aches
Breaks the river from the lake
Oh how it aches
What a beautiful mistake
Did you really say no?
Well, I thought you meant please
You were happy as a child
I was numb to my knees
Little baby by the sea
Gazing at the waves swirl
You were bottomless and free
You were nobody’s girl
Then the ocean burned red
And the shadows grew tall
Did I make you disappear
Were you here at all?
Oh how it aches
Breaks the river from the lake
Oh how it aches
What a beautiful mistake
Did you really say no?
Well, I thought you meant yes
There were shadows in your hair
There were flowers on your dress
