Nellie McKay - Happy Flower lyrics
[Nellie McKay - Happy Flower lyrics]
We slave we gamble recklessly as if a
Dagger in the dark me and you
We misbehave we trample fecklessly upon the
Bladder of our hearts
But, it's a happy flower in the mornin sun
And it'll keep perfumin when
The mornin's done
This ain't no tacky flower in a masquerade
And it'll keep on bloomin till
It steals the shade
Of the garden ‘neath our windowpane
You and me we leave
We lie we're running through the ramble off
The road of sad goodbyes me and you
We tease we try
We're cutting off the ample charms
Put forward from the skies
But, it's a happy flower in the mornin sun
And it'll keep on glowin
When the mornin's done
And though our happy flower
Doesn't make a sound
Well it'll keep growin till
It fills the ground
Of the garden ‘neath our windowpane
Happy flower happy flower
Happy flower happy flower
Happy flower happy flower
Happy flower happy flower
