In Flowers

Words don't drop me know

I am wrapped up in cross words and telephone wires

And I have shut myself up in

The smallest apartment I could find in upstate New York

Boy, where have I been

Up to my knees in

Up to my knees in

Up to my knees

In Flowers

Turn me inside out

Inside out

Old man failed the draft

Peerless and powerless

Just stay still

Just stay still

Just stay still

Fell too far to laugh

Stuck in the briar patch

Just stay still

Just stay still

Just stay still

Out of my hair you built your nest

How do I ask you for forgiveness

As sudden as summer ends

Flushed with the lilacs and

Just stay still

Just stay still

Just stay still

And i'll never understand

I'm a-flop on dry land

Just stay still

Just stay still

Just stay still

Gathering up my pile of sand

How do I ask you for forgiveness

Words don't drop me know

I am wrapped up in cross words and telephone wires

And I have shut myself up in

The smallest apartment I could find in upstate New York

Boy, where have I been

Up to my knees in

Up to my knees in

Up to my knees

In Flowers
