FLOWER

Yes, I know it’s afternoon
And the sun is shining in on me
While I am still lying in bed.
If only days would flow
Just as I have planned them out to go
But they like to defy all my plans.
If I cannot see you today
I’ll stay right here
And sleep the day away
Tomorrow and all the days beyond it
I’ll paint your picture inside all the dreams that I stay for


I want to bloom in the sun sturdy and never to fade
I want to sway in the gaze that in my dreams shines upon me
Now my heart, oh how it aches, about to break with all the pain inside it
If this love is to be unrequited, at least let… me wilt away

I… can’t smile anymore
Even in my dreams you answer with
Rejection like reality
Beyond the window
I imagine what the real you
Is doing and just where you are now

Some days I wander through the street
Holding a bird cage, with nothing contained
It was for you I left the cage door open
But it’s no use, it makes no difference how long I search for


Though the blue wind flying free threatens to lead me away
I will not cease after you, you who I chase captivated
Now the sky, so full of blue, endlessly blue
Bends down to cover me
As I stand here beneath its splendour, I look for… a sign of you

Like a flower…
Flowers bloom in the sunlight and they live close to you

Scattering seeds on that hill that you love
I will bring flowers to bloom
And they will be a bed for me until you come up to wake me
Hurry, come, and find me here
Yes, find me here, for this is where I’m waiting
So long I’ve wished to see your face when I awake
