In Flowers

Words don't drop me know
I am wrapped up in cross words and telephone wires
And I have shut myself up in
The smallest apartment I could find in upstate New York
Boy, where have I been
Up to my knees in
Up to my knees in
Up to my knees
In Flowers

Turn me inside out
Inside out

Old man failed the draft
Peerless and powerless
Just stay still
Just stay still
Just stay still

Fell too far to laugh
Stuck in the briar patch
Just stay still
Just stay still
Just stay still

Out of my hair you built your nest
How do I ask you for forgiveness

As sudden as summer ends
Flushed with the lilacs and
Just stay still
Just stay still
Just stay still

And i'll never understand
I'm a-flop on dry land
Just stay still
Just stay still
Just stay still

Gathering up my pile of sand
How do I ask you for forgiveness

Words don't drop me know
I am wrapped up in cross words and telephone wires
And I have shut myself up in
The smallest apartment I could find in upstate New York
Boy, where have I been
Up to my knees in
Up to my knees in
Up to my knees
In Flowers"
