Overgrown Garden
beetlebug
I wonder if you'll leave me behind someday
Among the wildflowers and the lilies sleeping by the way
But it’s okay
Because I would do anything for you
The sunlight dances beyond the yard
And painted your eyes in green
But you're fixated on the candytufts
And you hadn't the time for me
I wonder if you’ll leave me behind someday
Among the wildflowers and the lilies sleeping by the way
But it's okay
Because I would do anything for you
I washed my hair till it trickled down the drain
As the lavender filled the air
The scent might drive me half insane
But maybe you'll see me then
I wonder if you'll leave me behind someday
Among the wildflowers and the lilies sleeping by the way
But it's okay
Because I would do anything for you
The rhododendrons crimson flame
Set fire to the sleepy air
And lit the early morning haze
That glistened in your tangled hair
The thorns grew tighter everyday
Round your ankles dripping red
You placed a crown of marigolds on my head
And then you said
As you tried to pull your bloody hands away
I'm never gonna leave you behind someday
In the daisies and the bluebells weeping by the way
Because I love you, and I would do anything
I would do anything, anything at all
I wonder when you left me behind that day
Asleep beneath the willow withering away
If you were okay
Because I would do anything for you
I would do anything
