Blossom
Ryan Adams The Cardinals Lyrics

Without anyone to love you
In the absence of a loved one, what will be the outcome of your growth

What will you blossom into?
What will your future become without a loving companion by your side

Without anyone to hold you
In the absence of an embrace, how will you flourish

How will you grow?
In the absence of physical affection, how will you progress emotionally

And in the Wildwood trees
In the midst of nature's unspoiled landscapes

The wild wind blows
The gusts of wind rage throughout the forest

And the nighttime crushes the hurricane rose
The darkness hides the beauty of the rose battered by the storm

And with no one to care for you
If there is no loved one to provide for you

Who knows
It's impossible to predict

Blossom for me rose
Let your beauty unfold for me

You're the picture of my love
You represent all my affection

Stretch out underneath the stars
Lay down and admire the celestial spectacle

And when tomorrow comes
When the sun rises the following day

I will hold you up
I'll be your support when you need it

Little blossom, shining in the sun
Little thing, glowing under the sunlight

Without any place to go to
If you have no destination in mind

How will your soul return to
How will your spirit find its way back

Without anyone to keep you
In the absence of someone who looks out for you

Where will you go
What will be the destination of your travels

And in the shadows of the past
In the dim memories of days gone by

Where you're spinning so fast
When your thoughts are racing at a breakneck pace

It's hard to see it coming
It's difficult to anticipate what's going to happen

And it never lasts
It's fleeting and transient

And with nothing to judge your life by
In the absence of anything to assess your existence

How will you know
How will you make sense of your existence
