Songs For The Weary Lyrics
I was once a flower
And you were a bee
You landed on my petals
How soft were your feet
I cried from the beauty
My leaves had never seen
But after drinking my nectar
How soon did you flee?
Gone from my sight
You claimed to be free
Now I am a thorn bush
Restless in this heat
But I offer no shade
To passers from the street
My branches have grown tired
With leaves a faded green
And there's really no reason
For you to come near
My words are too prickly
So you just stay clear
Soon I'll be a garden
Drowning in the sun
With my fruit shipped afar
My song has long been sung
I wait here in silence
For a gentle touch to come
She will feel my soil
And plant her seeds
Then she'll pick me bare
And it will all repeat
And you were a bee
You landed on my petals
How soft were your feet
I cried from the beauty
My leaves had never seen
But after drinking my nectar
How soon did you flee?
Gone from my sight
You claimed to be free
Now I am a thorn bush
Restless in this heat
But I offer no shade
To passers from the street
My branches have grown tired
With leaves a faded green
And there's really no reason
For you to come near
My words are too prickly
So you just stay clear
Drowning in the sun
With my fruit shipped afar
My song has long been sung
I wait here in silence
For a gentle touch to come
She will feel my soil
And plant her seeds
Then she'll pick me bare
And it will all repeat
