Elisa - Inside A Flower testo (lyrics)

Hold back the time just let it hang
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
And if I give you love
Will you let me keep myself

I'm sitting out here on the
Very edge of earth
Looking through a book from long
Before the world began
The man who gave it to me didn't have a name
And overhead the sun is running down the day
The book begins it's story
Tells of war and hate and tells of power
The promises of freedom
And of all religions, love and ways of life
And how to

Close your time inside a flower
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
Close your time inside a flower
Live your life forget the power

The people passing by they stop to look at me
They all think I'm crazy ‘cause
I'm laughing in the wind
But I am free to be whatever I may choose
To win this freedom I know
That somebody had to lose

I've learned to those who buy love
And read about those willing to sell it
When we're born it's for love
Some of us will die just you get it
What you gotta do is

Close your time inside a flower
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
Close your time inside a flower
Live your life forget the power
We can give our love away
And never lose ourselves
But no one can be something that you own
And if you think you've got the right
To tell me what I am
I've got no trouble leaving you alone

Close your time inside a flower
Stop the seconds, minutes and hours
Close your time inside a flower
Live your life forget the power
