Withered Flowers

Offer me a place
Where sorrow turns to grace
I would love to stay here
I would sweep away the fear

Offer me a seat
Once or twice a week
You would see me with a smile
I would stay here for a while

Once I’m there I will never let you go
But I just stare into the dark
I just find myself torn apart

Withered flowers grow inside of me
I’m going blind, no haven I can see
Where are the homes of the lonely souls
I only hear a one man band
Playing for the money I owe you

Take away my pain
There’s something across the grain
I would promise you that…
No, I’d just break it like that

I’m so out of reach
No security breach
Isn’t there a way inside
A fortress strong and far and wide and… you know

Once I’m there I will burst and cover you
But I just walk into the night
Dreams are with me, out of sight

Withered flowers grow inside of me
I’m going blind, no haven I can see
Where are the homes of the lonely souls
I only hear a one man band
Playing for the money I owe you

Once I’m there I will never let you go
But I just stare into the dark
I just find myself torn apart

Withered flowers grow inside of me
I’m going blind, no haven I can see
Where are the homes of the lonely souls
I only hear a one man band
Playing for the money I owe you
