Anaïs Mitchell - Flowers lyrics

Artist: Anaïs Mitchell

album: Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)


What I wanted was to fall asleep
Close my eyes, and disappear
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
♪
♪
Lily white and poppy red
I trembled when he laid me out
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
Nothing gonna wake you now
♪
Dreams are sweet until they're not
Men are kind until they aren't
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
♪
Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing
Nothing gonna wake me now
♪
Flowers, I remember fields
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
Walking in the sun
I remember someone
Someone by my side
Turned his face to mine
And then I turned away
Into the shade
♪
You, the one I left behind
If you ever walk this way
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
