Flower Dancing Girl

These ruins of this broken marriage

Can’t we pull away without a carriage?

You ran away from these troubles

I just sat around in those puddles

Afraid of being alone as you took off

Tied in knots like how we were first

Left to wonder what was so wrong

Darling, please don’t be gone

 

What was so bad that made you run?

How can we be so far from being done?

We have so much to say, so much to do

You stop yourself to close your eyes

Making everything of distant memories

You danced away into the darkness

Out of sight, out of mind

You are one of a kind

You’ll be those flower dancing girls I’ll never get over

I’m a mess my dear red rover

Come back to me, please

No more of this tease

 

Then you combed your hair onto your shoulders

Dropping your eyes onto me like boulders

Leaving this tender whisper in my ear

We’ll be together someday

Just waiting for the again day

Come back to me my dear

I promise, please don’t fear

She flees from the distance of the phone

Disappearing into the adventurous unknown

Listening for her voice to return

Checking for the redial turn

Waiting for my flower dancing girl
