Lyrics

I could take a flower teach it how to sew
Show it all the ways it doesn't know
I could take a top hat teach it how to bloom
Something up my sleeve a trick or two
I could take a lizard teach it how to drive
Get him on the news with channel five
I could take a baby teach her how to walk
See the world before she learns to talk
I could do so many things things you'd only dream
One thing I'm not sure of though is how to live with grief
How long have these tears been just below the surface
Like I'm walking around an old museum
Living in the past dusting my collections
Waiting for love and waiting for life again
I could take a trumpet teach it how to cry
Oil all the valves if it was dry
And I could take a blanket teach it how to weep
Rock it till it's fallen half asleep
I could do so many things things you'd only dream
One thing I'm not sure of though is how to live with grief
How long have these tears been just below the surface
Like I'm walking around an old museum
Living in the past dusting my collections
Waiting for love and waiting for life again
How long till this pain feels more like a memory
Then a heart that's been shaped and molded into clay
There for me to see to pay for and to learn from
But never to touch fearing my art will break
But never to touch fearing this heart will break
I'm standing in a storm cloud hiding from the pain
Searching for the answer in the rain
