Iris

If I could be just one thing

I would be what you're craving

Six foot three with steel blue eyes

Sweep you off of your feet before you count to five

But the truth is I am just a man

Standin' five foot ten, doin' the best I can

And I've lived long enough to see

You will never be craving me

Oh, I watched her go

After she planted her love in the top soil

And from the top soil, an iris bloomed

It was pretty in May, but it died in June

If I could sing the way I feel inside

It'd sound happy and sad at the same damn time

'Cause when you smiled at me on that dance floor

It was the prettiest mask that you ever wore

Oh, I watched her go

After she planted her love in the top soil

And from the top soil, an iris bloomed

It was pretty in May, but it died in June

From the top soil, an iris bloomed

It was pretty in May, but it died in June
