lyrics

Blue Flower

I waited my whole life for you
blue flower
why I couldn't play it cool
but that was bullshit
I feel the strength of the pain
I feel the strength of the pain
I gave you all my love
now I'm wondering
what did you do with it?
did you splash it across town
like a butterfly dusting a million drunks
to sea
did you piss it up the wall?
did you leave some traces in Woolies?
don't you know they're crooks
I'll go looking for you in the carrots
and see if I can make myself out
like the cops
I'll smash up the tomatoes
and ring out any goodness
or did you turn it over soil
those vegetables will grow
did you rub it into your pores,
like tattoo ink squidding
slipping under the blue surface
shadows
traces of love
nothing to fear
that is where you keep love, isn't it?
it makes sense to me now
I wondered what it was that made you walk
like the female Jim Morrison
unafraid to feel and let love in
the universe connected
the way you hold yourself
together
I have this image of you
walking out the door
whereas my job is different
I have to give it all away
I'm more like the sewer
and that's no place to live
one day I'll make it to the grass
and lie there with you
under a perfect Brunswick rainbow
smiling and feeling
two butterflies dancing
under a single ray of light
I'll call out to my friend Ray Man
and tell him to fire up the point and shoot
cause I want at least one photograph
to hold now that you're gone
but in saying all of this
I understand
how can we love something else
until we love ourself
so I let you go
to find that hopeless love
because more than anyone you deserve it
and if ever you want more
the way it's going with me
I'll be here and I'll be the same
open, loving and kind
