Pink And The Lily Lyrics - The Pink And The Lily - Sandi Thom

Street lights ablaze and the air is so dry 

There's a cat in my bucket smoke covers the sky 

And the sound of the traffic keeps me from my dreams 

Like one million soldiers just shuffled their feet 

The heat of the night is one that I can't escape 

So I listen to the underground rumble and shake 

There's something so beautiful being alive 

When your young wild and free 

And just trying to survive. 

So hold me I believe every word that you told me 

And every last line that you sold me 

I'll love you for the rest of my life 

Take me turn me around and you'll make me 

Follow the footsteps you gave me 

In the Pink and the Lily tonight. 

Freedoms a luxury taken in vain 

It's hard to find justice and fight for a change 

Cos there's so many people that cannot be heard 

Their thoughts and their feelings just kicked to the curb 

I may not be old and I may not be wise 

But I call upon those with a chance in this life 

Climb to the rooftops and open your eyes 

Cos your young wild and free and just trying to survive. 

So hold me I believe every word that you told me 

And every last line that you sold me 

I'll love you for the rest of my life 

Take me turn me around and you'll make me 

Follow the footsteps you gave me 

In the Pink and the Lily tonight. 

Follow the footsteps you gave me 

In the Pink and the Lily tonight. 

Follow the footsteps you gave me 

In the Pink and the Lily tonight.
