"Tulips" lyrics
Little flower lookin' up at me!
Do you run from old memories?
I feel my body, wilted and defenceless
I pray to no one. Broken. I feel helpless
Tomorrow comes and I know that I'll face it again
Face it again
Face it again
In the middle of the night
I begin to curl and writhe
All I want is to let go
Going numb is all I know
Underneath my tired eyes
I imagine something bright!
But it's just beyond my reach
Take my hand and sing this melody!
Only love and care could ever set you free
Gentle lamb, don't worry! Come and follow me!
In the tulips you can safely fall asleep
Lay down gently, now that you may sleep
In the tulips, you'll always be safe with me
My fingers feel so hard again
I'm nothin' now
I'm underground
I never knew tenderness then
And I don't think
I could know now
So this is the end?
Is this what I get?
You get to live on? I never forget?
You live without guilt
And I? With your shame
You remember fondly, while I'm dying again
Take my hand and sing this melody!
Only love and care could ever set you free
Gentle lamb, don't worry! Come and follow me!
In the tulips you can safely fall asleep
Look at me like I'm so small
So insignificant!
When the sun begins to fall
And we're alone again...
You will break my bones and all
And I will pretend
I don't feel the pain at all
Take my hand and sing this melody!
Only love and care could ever set you free
Gentle lamb, don't worry! Come and follow me!
In the tulips you can safely fall asleep
Lay down gently, now that you may sleep
In the tulips, you'll always be safe with me
Do you run from old memories?
I feel my body, wilted and defenceless
I pray to no one. Broken. I feel helpless
Tomorrow comes and I know that I'll face it again
Face it again
Face it again
In the middle of the night
I begin to curl and writhe
All I want is to let go
Going numb is all I know
Underneath my tired eyes
I imagine something bright!
But it's just beyond my reach
Take my hand and sing this melody!
Only love and care could ever set you free
Gentle lamb, don't worry! Come and follow me!
In the tulips you can safely fall asleep
Lay down gently, now that you may sleep
In the tulips, you'll always be safe with me
My fingers feel so hard again
I'm nothin' now
I'm underground
I never knew tenderness then
And I don't think
I could know now
So this is the end?
Is this what I get?
You get to live on? I never forget?
You live without guilt
And I? With your shame
You remember fondly, while I'm dying again
Take my hand and sing this melody!
Only love and care could ever set you free
Gentle lamb, don't worry! Come and follow me!
In the tulips you can safely fall asleep
Look at me like I'm so small
So insignificant!
When the sun begins to fall
And we're alone again...
You will break my bones and all
And I will pretend
I don't feel the pain at all
Take my hand and sing this melody!
Only love and care could ever set you free
Gentle lamb, don't worry! Come and follow me!
In the tulips you can safely fall asleep
Lay down gently, now that you may sleep
In the tulips, you'll always be safe with me
