Flowers

What I wanted was to fall asleep
 Close my eyes, and disappear
 Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air

 ♪
 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
 ♪
 Dreams are sweet until they're not
 Men are kind until they aren't
 Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
 ♪
 Is anybody listening?
 I open my mouth and nothing comes out
 Nothing
 Nothing gonna wake me now
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 You, the one I left behind
 If you ever walk this way
 Come and find me lying in the bed I made
