[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You are a flow
er in the city
Growing up bet
ween the subwa
y tracks
Each day I wis
h that I could
take you with
me
And put you in
my finest vas
e of glass
[Chorus]
If you stared
at me for hour
s I'd be happy
If you blessed
my life with
sweetness I'd
stay sane
But to pick a
flower is to p
ick its day of
dyin’
So I won't pla
y God
And you'll rem
ain
[Verse 2]
You are the mo
on above my wi
ndow
Smiling down u
pon my sleeple
ss face
One night I pu
lled you down
and we went wa
lking
Through empty
streets alone
in our embrace
[Chorus]
I could hold y
ou here foreve
r in this sile
nce
Where your lig
ht would shine
for no one el
se but me
But to steal t
he moon is to
doom the world
to darkness
So I won't pla
y God
I will set you
free
[Verse 3]
You are a flow
er in the city
Growing throug
h the concrete
by yourself
Oh how I wish
that I could t
ake you with m
e
But you can't
grow in a pris
on on my shelf
[Outro]
No you can't g
row in a priso
n on my shelf
