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
