Phoenix Lyrics

[00:00.86]	You told me all creation starts,
[00:05.45]	Within the darkness of a womb,
[00:09.82]	Comparing flowers to enlightened minds,
[00:14.39]	And therefore loving to see them bloom.
[00:39.86]	As I had loved to see your joy,
[00:44.79]	And sought out a meadow to pick this living light,
[00:49.37]	But then I turned up at your door,
[00:53.99]	And found I’d only been stealing in the night.
[01:07.83]	When you said: “Don’t give me flowers to put in a vase,
[01:14.94]	They’re beautiful, I know, but they are dying,
[01:19.50]	Unlike the love that they were given to proclaim.
[01:27.04]	We’ll plant an oak tree in our garden,
[01:32.60]	To better stand the test of time,
[01:36.31]	Please don’t kill no flowers in my name,
[01:44.62]	Don’t kill flowers in my name.”
[02:10.95]	Well then I thought of life and death,
[02:15.34]	And the impermanence of all there is,
[02:19.85]	And grew unsure of how you knew
[02:23.75]	Our love could never feel the deathly kiss of time.
[02:38.45]	When you said: “Love is like a phoenix, never to truly die,
[02:44.98]	For it rises from its own ashes to be born anew,
[02:51.41]	Yeah, it is so if the love is true,
[02:56.35]	But if it’s lost to you and I, it is lost to the world,
[03:02.38]	And it will truly feel as though each star has ceased to shine for good,
[03:08.83]	Our love it lives on as it should,
[03:13.93]	Our love lives on as it should.

[00:00.86]	You told me all creation starts,
