I wonder if you'll leave me
Behind someday
Among the wildflowers and the lilies
Sleeping by the way
But it's okay
Because I would do anything for you
♪
The sunlight dances beyond the yard
And painted your eyes in green
But you're fixated on the candytufts
And you hadn't the time for me
I wonder if you'll leave me
Behind someday
Among the wildflowers and the lilies
Sleeping by the way
But it's okay
Because I would do anything for you
I washed my hair 'til it trickled down the drain
As the lavender filled the air
The scent might drive me half insane
But maybe you'll see me then
I wonder if you'll leave me
Behind someday
And all the wildflowers and the lilies
Sleeping by the way
But it's okay
Because I would do anything for you
The rhododendron's crimson flame
Set fire to the sleepy air
And lit the early morning haze
That glistened in your tangled hair
The thorns grew tighter every day
'Round your ankles dripping red
You placed a crown of marigolds on my head
And then you said
As you tried to pull your bloody hands away
"I'm never gonna leave you behind someday
In the daisies and the bluebells
Weeping by the way
Because I love you
And I would do anything
I would do anything
Anything at all"
I wonder when you left me
Behind that day
Asleep beneath the willow
Withering away
If you were okay
Because I would do anything for you
I would do anything
