Hurricane Bells - Flowers In The Dirt lyrics

One two three four It's early still but the light is fading Oh I'm in Brooklyn and it's raining I've been going through her old mail Oh trying to remember all the details She was smoothing the fabric of her skirt Oh she looked to me like flower in the dirt But that's only just a better way to hurt Well I've been here with her old broom Oh I've been sweeping up our old room And if the night brings a warning Oh I try to forget it in the morning In my dream I'm standing by a door In that old blue jacket I always wore Oh now the pain is so much greater than before Well there's a town by the seaside Oh she'd go swimming in the high tide And underneath that endless blanket Oh the sea disguised her every movement Oh and when I lifted up the veil Oh I was not prepared to see the serpents tail Oh and tt'sso hard now to even tell the tail La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la Well maybe I was just pretending Oh I had secrets worth defending Well there were nights alone in silence Oh there were words that were like violence Oh and when she couldn't take it anymore Oh she stood up and she walked out through the door So now I don't think we're getting married anymore Well I'll go; it's nearly daylight Oh I appreciate your incite Now I'm finished with this letter Oh now I've said it I feel better But so soon it will be sealed and on it's way And I'm going to get started on my day (wooo) Oh and it's going to be different today (la la la la la la la la) It's going to be different (la la la la la la la la) If only for the one that got away
