lyrics

Some flowers look like they been watered
But in fact they really not
So I trace this back to you my love and
Make sure that you got
A real big wall between your agonies and your
Broken spinal back and im
Hoping for a comedy to calm
Your weary head


So let my love shine on you
I promise to take care of you
Ill howl away these clouds – oh oh oh

Just make sure that you get well soon
Cause in that stupid butt-free dress
You’re a-looking like your grandma
Who the devil has possessed
And then we rage like two horses in your
Wheelchair down to Joseph’s
Where I prepared a party everyone is bringing roses

Ref.

It’s almost surreal how that truck hit ya
And drove away your legs
I wish I’d taken much more pictures of your
Toesie’s perfect shape and when the
Ambulances hurried to that place where you lay buried
Under tons of pain and grief your intact
Heart was my relief

Ref.

Just last week you got a tattoo of
An anchor on your hand to
Now remind you how you’re
Strapped to this dry chair
You cant accept cuz

You told me if there’s one thing
That you’re loving more than me
Then it most definitely has to be
The open see

When I said I will care for you my lovely sailor
I meant I’ll build a wheelchair-access to our trailer

And when the flood comes and you finally meet your maker
At least you know you’ll die a-floating in its waves, love!
