Wild Flowers

Let me tell you a story about a girl I know She is so beautiful With flowers in her hair Her perfume smells like summer air And her lips are the sweetest like honey and milk And her skin white like cocaine but soft as silk And her hair is as black as a reservoir At midnight and still and it takes me so far So far that I don't believe that there is an end But if there is I will climb and dive in again We picked daisies and I made a chain Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane And if this isn't love don't show me the truth I said if this isn't love I'm gonna need some Tiny wild flowers all tied in your hair Like stars in the sky just floating there A constellation gorgeous and new You called it The Lovers I believed it was true And all of a sudden you rose from our nest No longer felt love I felt sorrow instead As you walked you combed out your hair And all the flowers fell like birds through the air We picked daisies and I made a chain Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane And if this isn't love don't show me the truth I said if this isn't love I'm gonna need some Like stars in the sky Falling to earth The Lovers are dead The Lovers are cursed We picked daisies and I made a chain Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane And if this isn't love don't show me the truth I said if this isn't love I'm gonna need some
