lyrics

i put your flowers in a jar beside my bed
that night before i went to sleep
thoughts of you danced in my head
and when i woke, my room smelled sweet

waved goodbye to all my grey skies
and let your sunlight burn me up
and even though i’d end up blistered
still i couldn’t get enough

and now it’s easier to breathe
these spring rains will wash me clean
i’ll take the flowers
that we’d grown
and plant a garden all my own (g)

i tore down the walls you built me
and built new ones painted blue
but every time i saw the sunshine
it reminded me of you

i took the flowers from my bedside
and the stars out of my eyes
and as the blindness was subsiding
i saw the flowers all had died
