You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain You never lose a minute, if in it there is love And "old man time" always pulls you through It's better not to depend on the morning dew For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you, hard

I lie awake And watch it all It feels like thousand eyes Unto this storm I am the storm I can't control Withering wonders Flowers that lose their shape

I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers And I'd like to check you for ticks 'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks Every time you take a sip In this smoky atmosphere You press that bottle

Mm, too young, too dumb to realize That I should have bought you flowers And held your hand Should have gave you all my hours When I had the chance Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance Now my baby's dancing But she's dancing with

Won't you come see me, Queen Jane When your mother sends back all your invitations And your father, to your sister he explains That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations Now, when all of the flower ladies what back what they have lent you

Blue gardenia I lived for an hour Love bloomed like a flower Thrown to a passing breeze But pressed in my book Of memories Now I'm alone with you And I am oh, so blue He has tossed us aside

Let the only sound Be the overflow Lay me down Pockets full of stones Time it took us To where the water was That's what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us

Too powerful And you can't offer me escape Houses move and houses speak If you take me there you'll get relief Believe, believe, believe, believe Appliances have gone berserk I cannot keep up

Oh my my, spaces between the happiness and the hardness I saw red and yellow flowers outside over the moors And brightest sunrise ever to touched my eyes. And through it all, I stood and stumbled, waded through my thoughts and heart Yeah through it all,

And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand we must remain Perfect strangers Can you remember, remember my name? As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past
