lyrics

They found you where the sunrise marks the treeline
In the park where we shared summers
White flowers framed your body
The frost in your hair, a halo made
Your eyes reflected dawnlight
Because they failed the shine their own
Ever since you went away, white flowers have taken the place of you, placing roots where you used to be
I see them from my window, they’re covering the city
They’re growing on your grave
Choking cherished memories –
I can’t hear your voice, I can’t recall your face
No breath can hold your name

I can feel you taking hold of
All that I know, all that I love
Is this how you choose to haunt me?
Through petals that refuse to fade?
Then let my eyes shut ‘til the day you are returned to me
Or blinded, evermore, I shall remain
This letter is the last I’ll write
I’ll cover it with dirt
And if a flower should take root there
You’ll never read a word
I don’t want these flowers, I want you to return to me
I’ll see you again
