Lyrics Pistil (Everybody Knows) - Ludlow

From the cherry to the child
What we bring out into the wild
From the stigma to the style
Toss the flower to the stream

And we bury; we beguile
We take an inch and give another mile
We just let the boat flow onward for awhile
Try to believe along the way

But she was
(On my way)
Far away when that ocean broke
(On my way)
In the kitchen, stirring broken yolk
(On my way)
Far away when that ocean broke

Happily, I rowed this current once
In a body full of someone else's blood
Now I need to know where the river flows
But I get the feeling everybody knows

Take the flower for the fruit
Will we take the beauty or the food?
Tell me, can that flower even bloom
Given the life I lead today?
Given the life I lead today

And she was
(On my way)
Reaching out through a bright blue wall
(On my way)
At the bottom of the waterfall
(On my way)
Reaching out through a bright blue wall

I believe a bright horizon goes
To the curving line and further down below
Now I need to know where the river flows
But I get the feeling everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

I gotta get my body off the boat
'Cause I'm headed to the waterfall alone
And I need to know where the river flows
But I get the feeling everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
