Flower Lyrics - Rusted Root

Here we stand again 

In the year 1999 

But you're so far 

But yet so close 

And in the ancestral rays of the sun 

We're passing time in the video store 

Remembering all the things 

That we were 

But I've been pushed back 

To the cradle 

Though I believe I'm bigger now 

Although I'm lonely as a flower 

In the alabaster lazy sun 

Never long time for the weeping 

Alabaster lazy sun 

Alabaster lazy sun 

Never long time for the weeping 

Alabaster lazy sun 

In my day 

And I swung the door wide open 

Yes I've done my deeds adorned 

When I crashed into your building 

And I hope you don't cry to long 

Huddled in debris land 

But tomorrow's perfect 

Tomorrow's Tuesday 

In the alabaster lazy sun 

Never long time for the weepin' 

Alabaster lazy sun 

In my day 

Alabaster lazy sun 

Never long time for the weepin' 

Alabaster lazy sun 

In my day 

But darlin' don't you weep 

Silver and gold 

Aren't we lonely as a flower 

Climbing above these walls 

Aren't we lonely as a flower 

Climbing above the walls 

Well let's forget these stupid buildings 

Come on my lover take the fall 

In the alabaster lazy sun 

Never long time for the weeping 

Alabaster lazy sun 

In my day 

Alabaster lazy sun 

Never long time for the weeping 

Alabaster lazy sun 

In my day 

In my day 

My day 

My day 

I can remember when 

Rock 'n' roll was somewhat of a God 

Leaving us naked and so alive 

But now it's just a two day masquerade 

I guess I'll go to the corn fields and pray
