Asher Kramer & the Gone Astray BaNd

Lyrics

My love is like a wounded flower, still beautiful but filled with hurt
I can’t take her from native soil, she’d surely die in foreign dirt
I could never grow a garden just wilted flowers and full of weeds
My love is like a wounded flower, but I will never meet her needs

I have always been a dreamer the boats I launched just lost at sea
My towers all fall to the ground like a useless child’s fantasy
I dream about her distant garden with an iron fence full of harlequins
But I will never reach that place and she will never let me in

My love is like newborn fawn lost in a forest dark and deep
I light a fire to lead the way to break the trail her trust to keep
She is scared and sure to bolt so I try to stay concealed
Within the forest foliage never to be fully revealed

There's a recurring dream that’s haunted me since I was a kid
I walk a path of brilliant flowers behind the sea grass where I hid
From the silhouette of a girl standing at dawn on the windy beach
I always wake up empty handed that angel’s always out of reach

I have wandered through the desert like an exiled jester troubadour
The songs I sang echoed in the canyons with a mighty mindless roar
I could never find the courage to tell my love what was true
My love is like a wounded flower, and I am simply passing through

My love is like a wounded flower, her roots run deep her heart is torn
I cannot take her back with me, I cannot save her from the storm
Black clouds hover the thunder rumbles like an unrequited lover’s poem
My love is like a wounded flower, and we are both so alone
