Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What I wanted was to fall asleep
Close my eyes and disappear
Like a petal on a stream
A feather on the air
[Verse 2]
Lily-white and poppy-red
I trembled when he laid me out
"You won't feel a thing", he said
When you go down
Nothing gonna wake you now
[Verse 3]
Dreams are sweet, until they're not
Men are kind, until they aren't
Flowers bloom until they rot
And fall apart
[Verse 4]
Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing
Nothing gonna wake me now
[Verse 5]
Flowers, I remember fields
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
Walking in the sun
I remember someone
Someone by my side
Turned his face to mine
And then I turned away
Into the shade
[Outro]
You, the one I left behind
If you ever walk this way
Come and find me
Lying in the bed I made
