Rusted Root - Lonely As A Flower lyrics

Here we stand again

in the year of 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

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 tommorow's perfect

tommorow's Tuesday

In the alabaster lazy sun,

never long time for the weeping

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 these walls

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

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
