[Antonia Vai - Once I knew a boy dalszöveg lyrics]
Once I knew a boy who only
Made love inside his mind
We had nothing but dreams that’s all we did
Drowned them in red wine
I woke up next to him one morning and found
A plant growing out of his head
Green leaves on hundreds of twigs
He never saw it with his own eyes
But he felt it, he said
I watered every bud that opened up
Flowers in his hair
He heard lions and tigers roaring at night
I fed them with care
And the leaves that got to weak
They scratched his thoughts, he said
So I picked the old ones took care of
The yellow, the brown the dried and the dead
And I think he fell in love with me at times
And I think he fell in love with me at times
He blossomed with me
Once I loved a boy
Who only kept me so I could keep him
Did what felt eternal, kept him flowering
So I’ld be let in
I woke up next to him one morning
In a bed of dried out leaves
Damaged sprigs and his withered eyes
Staring beyond me without belief
So I carried his body to my kitchen
Buried him in my flowerpot
Maybe one day something will
Grow out of there maybe not
But, I trust in whatever may come
Oh, I trust, as if I’ve never seen
What time can do to a man
What time can do to a mans dream
Oh, this is not the last
Time I’ll fall in love
It’s not the last regret I’m taking care of
So blossom for me
Made love inside his mind
We had nothing but dreams that’s all we did
Drowned them in red wine
I woke up next to him one morning and found
A plant growing out of his head
Green leaves on hundreds of twigs
He never saw it with his own eyes
But he felt it, he said
I watered every bud that opened up
Flowers in his hair
He heard lions and tigers roaring at night
I fed them with care
And the leaves that got to weak
They scratched his thoughts, he said
So I picked the old ones took care of
The yellow, the brown the dried and the dead
And I think he fell in love with me at times
And I think he fell in love with me at times
He blossomed with me
Once I loved a boy
Who only kept me so I could keep him
Did what felt eternal, kept him flowering
So I’ld be let in
I woke up next to him one morning
In a bed of dried out leaves
Damaged sprigs and his withered eyes
Staring beyond me without belief
So I carried his body to my kitchen
Buried him in my flowerpot
Maybe one day something will
Grow out of there maybe not
But, I trust in whatever may come
Oh, I trust, as if I’ve never seen
What time can do to a man
What time can do to a mans dream
Oh, this is not the last
Time I’ll fall in love
It’s not the last regret I’m taking care of
So blossom for me
