Flowers Songtext / Lyric

when they bury me

when my head pours into the ground

my thoughts will all grow flowers

sprouting out all around



some will be violet

and yellow and green

and others will only be black



they'll tell my life's story

to all who walk by

and there will be no hidden facts



don't be suprised

if the flowers all have your eyes

and for petals your long flowing hair

and though you'd like to pick them

i'd rather you just left them there






when i said i loved you

the flowers all turned red

when i broke your heart

they all went pale instead



when we kissed

the sun shown through in yellow



when i did you wrong

the blackness crept in from below



(repeats)



when i am dead and i am buried

in a long wooden box

alone with nothing but the dirt

myself, and my thoughts



i will grow a mighty tree

straight out of my heart



i will grow a mighty tree

straight out of my heart



and the fruit will bear your name

and it will grow forever strong



forever strong
