You told me all creation starts
Within the darkness of a womb
Comparing flowers
to enlightened minds and
Therefore loving to see them bloom
As I had loved to
see your joy and
Sought out a meadow
to pick this living light but
Then I turned up
at your door and
Found I’d only been
stealing in the night
When you said Don’t give me
flowers to put in a vase
They’re beautiful I know
but they are dying
Unlike the love that
they were given to proclaim
We’ll plant
an oak tree in our garden
To better stand the test of time
Please don’t kill
no flowers in my name
Don’t kill flowers in my name
Well then I thought
of life and death and
The impermanence
of all there is and
Grew unsure of how you knew
Our love could never
feel the deathly kiss of time
When you said Love is
like a phoenix never to truly die
For it rises from its own ashes
to be born anew
Yeah it is so if the love is true but
If it’s lost to you and I
it is lost to the world and
It will truly feel as though
each star has ceased
to shine for good
Our love it lives on as it should
Our love lives on as it should
