Flowers

What I wanted was to fall asleep
Close my eyes and disappear
Like a petal on the stream
A feather on the air

Lily-white and poppy-red
I trembled when he laid me out
"You won't feel a thing," he said
When you go down
Nothing gonna wake you now

Dreams are sweet
Until they're not
Men are kind, 'til-'til they aren't
Flowers bloom until they rot
And fall apart

Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth
And nothing comes out
Nothing
Nothing gonna wake me now

Flowers
I remember
Fields of flowers
Soft beneath my hands

Walking in the sun
I remember someone
Someone by my side
Turn his face to mine
Then I turned away
Into the shade

You the one I left behind
If you ever walk this way
Come and find me
Lying in the bed I made
