These Flowers Lyrics - Martha Wainwright - Martha Wainwright

These flowers are coming up wild 

They're coming up, they're coming up 

They're coming up wild 

These flowers are coming up wild 

They're coming up, they're coming up 

They're coming up wild 

They are like those children 

Go off to school & don't come back 

And I am like their mother 

Waiting around about to crack 

Crack 

Crack 

I want them back 

Crack 

Crack 

I want them back 

Back 

Back 

Back 

You are like a flower 

You rise & rise to the sun 

You do not look back at where you came from 

I want to be like that 

That 

That 

That 

And the boys they run faster 

And they throw harder 

And they get stronger 

And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone 

I want to be like that 

That 

That 

That 

And the girls they are pretty 

And they get silly 

When they get giddy 

And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone 

I want to be like that 

That 

I'm on my knees in the corner 

Wiping my floor, wiping my floor, yeah 

And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone 

I want to be like that 

That 

That 

That 

These flowers are coming up wild 

They're coming up, they're coming up 

They're coming up wild
