| [00:00.86] |
You told me all creation starts, |
| [00:05.45] |
Within the darkness of a womb, |
| [00:09.82] |
Comparing flowers to enlightened minds, |
| [00:14.39] |
And therefore loving to see them bloom. |
| [00:39.86] |
As I had loved to see your joy, |
| [00:44.79] |
And sought out a meadow to pick this living light, |
| [00:49.37] |
But then I turned up at your door, |
| [00:53.99] |
And found I’d only been stealing in the night. |
| [01:07.83] |
When you said: “Don’t give me flowers to put in a vase, |
| [01:14.94] |
They’re beautiful, I know, but they are dying, |
| [01:19.50] |
Unlike the love that they were given to proclaim. |
| [01:27.04] |
We’ll plant an oak tree in our garden, |
| [01:32.60] |
To better stand the test of time, |
| [01:36.31] |
Please don’t kill no flowers in my name, |
| [01:44.62] |
Don’t kill flowers in my name.” |
| [02:10.95] |
Well then I thought of life and death, |
| [02:15.34] |
And the impermanence of all there is, |
| [02:19.85] |
And grew unsure of how you knew |
| [02:23.75] |
Our love could never feel the deathly kiss of time. |
| [02:38.45] |
When you said: “Love is like a phoenix, never to truly die, |
| [02:44.98] |
For it rises from its own ashes to be born anew, |
| [02:51.41] |
Yeah, it is so if the love is true, |
| [02:56.35] |
But if it’s lost to you and I, it is lost to the world, |
| [03:02.38] |
And it will truly feel as though each star has ceased to shine for good, |
| [03:08.83] |
Our love it lives on as it should, |
| [03:13.93] |
Our love lives on as it should. |
