One Twin Flower

One Twin Flower withers Although she's been drinking The same water as her sister Those young dreams and visions Fade away in idle time Frail is the memory Cruel is fate Who looks above the shoulder And with needle hands Chooses whom to take away Now the other flower Rests alone breathing the sun It will set under the mountains Red is the sky When shadows grow longer And bright shines a star Against the dark hours of the night Don't let sorrow turn to stone It is only weighing you down Beneath the surface of an ocean Beneath the surface of an ocean Wise is the will to live Setting you free Swim back into the light of day Swim back into the light of day Swim back into the light of day One Twin Flower withers Finally to meet The same ending as her sister Cruel is fate Who looks above the shoulder And with needle hands Chooses whom to take Red is the sky When shadows grow longer And bright shines a star Against the dark hours of the night
