Flower in the City |
| You are a flower in the city |
| Growing up between the subway tracks |
| Each day I wish that I could take you with me |
| And put you in my finest vase of glass |
| If you stared at me for hours I’d be happy |
| If you blessed my life with sweetness I’d stay sane |
| But to pick a flower is to pick its day of dyin' |
| So I won’t play God and you’ll remain |
| You are the moon above my window |
| Shining down upon my sleepless face |
| One night I pulled you down and we went walking |
| Through the empty streets alone in our embrace |
| I could hold you here forever in this silence |
| Where your light would shine for no one else but me |
| But to steal the moon is to doom the world to darkness |
| So I won’t play God; |
| I will set you free |
| You are a flower in the city |
| Growing through the concrete by yourself |
| Oh how I wish that I could take you with me |
| But you can’t grow in a prison on my shelf |
| No, you can’t grow in a prison on my shelf |
