"When The One Flowered Suitcase" lyrics

"When The One Flowered Suitcase"

When the one flowered suitcase declares winter over
Plans, whether realized or not, do their best
And we have got to keep on
We meant to start here. A new year
In Finland, with cloud banks slanting down
We thought that it mattered - it did not
Like no money, and we've got to keep on
And carry each other
Through these forests
Through these long buildings
Up every stair flight

Let's say we are tired
From getting our hopes up again
Again, let's say we are tired
Yes, it's alright I hear you
Yes, it's alright
Yes, it's alright I'm with you

When the one flowered suitcase is replaced
Is untraced, let us not change so much
Let's stay in our old clothes
And walk around this known and dear life
And carry each other
Through these forests
Through these long buildings
Up every stair flight

Let's say we are tired
From getting our hopes up again
Again, let's say we are tired
Yes, it's alright I hear you
Yes, it's alright
Yes, it's alright I'm near you
Yes, it's alright
Yes, it's alright I'm with you
