Flower

Well here we stand again in the year 1999
But you're so far but yet so close
And in the ancestral rays of the sun
We're passing time in the video store
Remembering all the things that we were
But I've been pushed back to the cradle
Though I believe I'm bigger now
Although I'm lonely as a flower

In the alabaster lays a sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lays a sun
Alabaster lays a sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lays a sun
In my day

And I swung the door wide open
Yes I've done my deeds of dawn
When I crashed into your building
And I hope you don't cry too long
Huddled in debris lands
But tomorrow's perfect, tomorrow's Tuesday

In the alabaster lays a sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lays a sun
In my day
Alabaster lays a sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lays a sun
In my day

But darling don't you weep
Silver and gold
Weep lonely as a flower
Climbing above these walls
Oh weep lonely as a flower
Climbing above the walls
Well let's forget these stupid feelings
Come on my lover take a fall

In the alabaster lays a sun

There's never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lays a sun
In my day
Alabaster lays a sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lays a sun
In my day
In my day

My day
My day

I can remember when rock and roll was somewhat of a god
Leaving us naked and so alive
But now it's just a two day masquerade
I guess I'll go to the corn fields and pray
