I knew from the start
It’s been breaking my heart
I know soon we’ll be starting to wilt
And though you said you won’t cry for us
I swear I’ll die for us
And if you want me I will
Now the moment is passing
It’s not just the grass that is greener- I swore by your dreams
And by yours I mean mine
I mean, know I’m just miming you
Praying it’s not what it seems
The flowers you gave me were blue from the mountains
Were blue from the winter
Were blue from the rain falling out of her blue eyes
She knew that it was time to stay
But she really must go
The flowers she gave me shone bright as the white deers
Were white from the snow falling out of her blue eyes
She knew that it was time to stay
But she really must go
That it was time to stay.
My sweet baby girl, why, your eyes did abandon me
I see by your curls it was always your plan to see you and only you
I do I do
And before me you stood like a mountain
Like a forest without any trees
And your soul shining through your dry fountain
Fire heals I’d say while mine would give in
Don’t look back, don’t think twice
killing my trust with ice, you know-
Down by my fresh grave I took your advice again
Should I take your advice dear friend?
Should I take your advice? Until then-
I didn’t say I want you to stay
But I do, do, do
Do me right
no I won’t die if you would go away
My heart is strong though it breaks almost every day
Your eyes so dark- all I can do is pray
My heart is strong but if you break it, it would break. Oh, say its fine
Oh, let it shine, damn
Let it shine.
