Phoenix Flower
from Songs For The Summer by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Let's strap her down across the wooden chair
My, my, what a filthy little temptress
Let's pluck away her petals 'til she's bare
She laughs and grows
In flames she glows (Phoenix Flower)
And in the face of all the world can put her through
She will still be standing there to let her petals burn
Swaying and taking in the sunshine
So beautiful when caught up in the breeze
Takes strength from forever being earthbound
Let's rip her up and take her from this place
She laughs and grows
In flames she glows (Phoenix Flower)
And in the face of all the world can put her through
She will still be standing there to let her petals burn
And from the ashes you will grow anew
You kiss the soil
And drink the rain
And from the embers
Of your pain
Wrapped up in shades
Of every colour found in summer
I'll watch you rise again
A precious Phoenix Flower
We will all be standing there to watch your petals burn…
She laughs and grows
In flames she glows (Phoenix Flower)
And in the face of all the world can put her through
She will still be standing there to let her petals burn
