lyrics

Upturned flowers catch the sun
The sky grows dark they droop as one
And hang their heads as if in shame or shyness
Hide their stamen from the rain
But there is one frozen tall
To whom secrets of the heavens will now be revealed
And with enraptured, fearful gaze
Takes in the stars and takes hailstones in the face

Oh my love I need some of that joy
My roots lay rotten in the soil

Oh my love, I am nothing without you
I am nothing without you
I am nothing without you
Though my love the night's been cruel
We'll wait for the sun and we will be warm again

Weathering takes a heavy toll
For every smile a tear must roll
We're all defeated in the end
You might as well count the stars among your friends

And oh my love, I'm with you
Whatever you want to do
