Tulips Lyrics

When you said tulips
I knew that you're mine
When I caught you there
Crying in the night
Wearing my jacket
Wearing that smile
I knew that I'd found you

This could be an opportunity

Were you unawares
Did it catch you out?
Or did it break you in
Right from the start
It's as pure as fire
It's as pure as snow
I knew that I'd found you


This could be an opportunity
If you promise to let it grow

'Cos you're the one I love

I agree, it's just about relationships and the little things you do, little fragments of really specific things you remember so clearly just cos it meant a lot to you - I'm sure most can remember a glimpse of someone they were with ("when I saw you there ... I knew that I'd found you") which made them rrealise how much that person meant to them. The first verse at least is definatly for the little things like that.

Was wondering if tulips specifically had a meaning and found this on Wiki: "Tulips cannot be grown in the open in tropical climates, as they require a cold winter season to grow successfully. Manipulation of the tulip's growing temperature can, however, allow growers to "force" tulips to flower earlier than they normally would." there's bound to be something in there but I can't drag anything out right now.

Whill, you are so right.

Without sounding confrontational ''The Knave'' I doubt your all that hard mate, you spend your spare time on a lyrics message board and carry round allergy medication and knives I doubt girls will be missing out by not wearing your jacket
