Petrified Forest
from Songs For The Summer by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
How beautiful you could be
If only you could see
Then beautiful you would be
You make me touch the sky (touch the sky)
Flying high
On your wings of saffron
Your hearts gone
Half way 'round the world
And you've suffered the angst
Of loving men who give thanks
To nothing but their sordid vices
Don't you know that I'm trying?
Don't you know that I'm trying hard to be?
All the things that you've never…
The things that you've never ever seen
Mantis, gold and ebony
Fill the world with majesty
Jet and laurel, golden rod
More than just an act of God
Saturn's rings have nothing on you, baby
You fly me one way to the moon
Money saved for a rainy day
Is time thrown away down the well
Before you know it
You've wished away your life
I planted your rose in my garden
Just a forest made out of stone
So petrified;
but you breathed it full of life.
I planted your rose in my garden
Just a forest made out of stone
So petrified;
But you breathe me full of life.
If only you could see
How beautiful you could be
If only you could see
Then beautiful you would be
If only you could see
How beautiful you could be
If only you could see
You're beautiful to me
Money saved for a rainy day
Is time pissed away down the well
Before you know it
You've wished away your life
I planted your rose in my garden
Just a forest made out of stone
So petrified;
But you breathe me full of life.
