[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.
