In the Flowers

  • Met a dancer who was high in a field from her movement
    Caught my breath on my way home
    Couldn't stop that spinning force
    I felt envy
    Everything around seemed to giggle
    You are up with the flower and I cared

    Found a dancer
    who gets wild to the beats of record rhythm
    But I'm always away for weeks
    That pass slow my mind gets lost
    Feeling envy for the kid who'll dance despite anything
    I walked out in the flowers and feel better

    If I could just leave my body for the night

    Then we could be dancing
    No more missing you while I'm gone
    There we could be dancing
    And you'd smile and say, "I like this song"
    And when our eyes will meet there
    We will recognize nothing's wrong
    And I wouldn't feel so selfish
    I won't be this way very long

    To hold you in time
    To hold you in time
    To hold you in time
    To hold you in time

    While we were dancing
    Early hours drunken days finally ended
    And the streets turned for a pillowcase
    Then I fumbled our good lock
    Then the ecstasy turns to rising light
    Through our windowpane, now I'm gone
    I left flowers for you there Writer/s: Brian Ross Weitz, Noah Benjamin Lennox
