lyrics

Her sweater is the same color as the flowers
I've seen her emerge from the leaves
Her mind must grow in the summertime
With flowing wine and the sun on her side
I want to go with her when it starts to snow
Carry her woes as she escapes these streets

What keeps me from speaking to the flowers?
I've heard her conversing with the leaves
Her eyes do glow in the summertime
Below the branches, fierce against the green
And I want to go with her when it starts to snow
Carry her woes as she escapes these streets

May I follow you and let the bright orange petals lead our way
May I follow you and as the petals fall away I can stay close to keep you warm

Well I never even asked her if she'd let me
Nah, I couldn't interrupt their gentle talk
Listen closely, hear their whispers as they speak
Listen closely, they're deciding when to leave
Listen closely, hear their footsteps from the east
Listen closely to remember that kind of peace
