Flowers Keep Growing
by Broken Family
lyrics
in the liquor store, the bottle fell from your hand
and then it smashed all over the floor
there was a smile on your face and tears in your eyes
no more lies, no more lies
we both need something more
then back at the house you disappear into your shadow
and the booze it don't ease your state of mind
i try to reach you but you're running from the devil
through the door, down the hill
and then you're out of my sight
and I found you down by the creek near your house
in the grass had your head bowed down
I tried to say anything, you put your hand on my mouth
and put your hand on your gun
will I come, will I come?
and I know that this darkness it seems to stretch forever
and the voices are most vicious at night
but take my hand, don't you slip away into the shadows
please stay with me here in the light, in the light
and there's flowers growing where you saw yourself forever
in the valley where the rivers wind on down
and it's beautiful but won't you let them flowers keep on growing
this place ain't going nowhere and I like having you around
this place ain't going nowhere and it's so cold under the ground
this place ain't going nowhere and I like having you around
and then it smashed all over the floor
there was a smile on your face and tears in your eyes
no more lies, no more lies
we both need something more
then back at the house you disappear into your shadow
and the booze it don't ease your state of mind
i try to reach you but you're running from the devil
through the door, down the hill
and then you're out of my sight
and I found you down by the creek near your house
in the grass had your head bowed down
I tried to say anything, you put your hand on my mouth
and put your hand on your gun
will I come, will I come?
and I know that this darkness it seems to stretch forever
and the voices are most vicious at night
but take my hand, don't you slip away into the shadows
please stay with me here in the light, in the light
and there's flowers growing where you saw yourself forever
in the valley where the rivers wind on down
and it's beautiful but won't you let them flowers keep on growing
this place ain't going nowhere and I like having you around
this place ain't going nowhere and it's so cold under the ground
this place ain't going nowhere and I like having you around
