lyrics

When it rains,
I’ll collect the tear drops falling from the roof
In a cup made from both of my palms
Looks the same as a porcelain teacup, the edges blue,
Just like when you were gone

I would like to make you a bouquet- I remember you loved flowers
‘Cause they filled up your red heart
Take the point across- I will hold a candle to the dead of night
I want to know if there are flowers in the dark

When it starts, I can feel their handprints pressing on my chest,
Mark me up with darkest ink
Where they are, they tattoo their tragic poetry into my skin
Read it to me, read it to me

I would like to make you a bouquet- I remember you loved flowers
‘Cause they filled up your red heart
Digging in the yard, searching desperately for flowers
In the dim light of the moon are there flowers in the dark?
In the dim light of the moon
Are there flowers in the dark?

When it stings,
I’ll apply some pressure to your skin- oh, we have both got blue fingertips
We will learn how to do that to our red hearts
So we won’t have to remember other lips
So we won’t have to remember this is it

I would like to make you a bouquet- I remember you loved flowers
‘Cause they filled up your red heart
Take the point across- I will hold a candle to the dead of night
I want to know if there are flowers in the dark
I would like to take you back inside-
Stormy weather is no place to keep the sick
It will ruin your lead heart
Holding onto something as intangible as breath
I’ve been waiting to ask you
Are there flowers in the dark?
I’ve been waiting to ask you
Are there flowers in the dark?
I’ve been waiting to ask you
Are there flowers in the dark?
I’ve been waiting to ask you
Are there flowers where you are?
I’ve been meaning to ask you-
Does it fill up your red heart when I finally ask
If there are flowers in the dark?
