overgrown garden

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 'til 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

And all the wildflowers and the lilies

Sleeping by the way

But it's okay

Because I would do anything for you

The rhododendron's crimson flame

Set fire to the sleepy air

And lit the early morning haze

That glistened in your tangled hair

The thorns grew tighter every day

'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
