i never did say
those words that met the tune
denied the building for they, they
ate free, the error of my ways
battled and wounded i moved to shield
in with muddle he dropped my hand
never mind the distance
with flowers in my hair
breaking every refrain
you'd sing anywhere
never granted safe or true
the song i knew so well
but i, i could only hum
waiting for a cleaner air
darlin', i've felt all i lost
clenching fists, i've set you
out of light, out of rhyme
fallen heart find good rest
in answers never given
the flowers were never there
