Her
SEDIVY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She sat inside with dreams of things that weren't really there
In dreams she weeped and wished for her to free her from despair
But day by day in tangled weaves she pulled out all her hair
Oh
Wake up my love
Don't be beyond repair
For flowers don't bloom in cold and empty hospital rooms
I'll never, never, never be a face in the crowd
But time collects his share
And leaves the poor girl so cold and bare
Oh
My queen of intrigue
My short, short tempered love
The colors that surround her that reign from above
My beauty, my bouquet
Don't lose your way
I'll always be right here
In your dreams so far away
Oh
