Lyrics for Flowers (Eurydice's Song)

What I wanted was to fall asleep To close my eyes and disappear Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air Lily white and poppy red I trembled when he laid me out You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down Nothing gonna wake you now Dreams are sweet until they're not Men are kind until they aren't Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart Is anybody listening? I open my mouth and nothing comes out Nothing Nothing gonna wake me now Flowers, I remember fields Of flowers, soft beneath my heels Walking in the sun I remember someone Someone by my side Turned his face to mine And then I turned away Into the shade You, the one I left behind If you ever walk this way Come and find me lying in the bed I made
