The last flower to be saved

Better let love slip away I'm going insane all because I want you back I need you back This is the biggest regret I'll ever have to face Oh yeah please don't leave me baby baby love me baby It's driving me crazy crazy Finally over me You can tell me the truth Or do you say That I'm crazy Finally over me You can tell me the truth or I live They came with the rain and the cold Took the rolls left the stems in the road I hid you deep in a cracked clay jar By the porch where the broken boards are Your petals shook like a tiny flag Against a sky that was torn in black I held my breath I held my hands Like I could make the whole earth stand One by one they all went down Fields to ash and roots in the ground But in my palm you stayed alive A little fire I could not out find The last flower to be seen The last flower to be saved I kept you here through the storm I kept you here I kept you warm The last flower to be saved The last flower to be saved You were the one I would not trade They said let go let the garden go But I knew your name in the dark below I fed you rain from a cracked blue cup Once you green led one new leaf up And every dawn was a closed call Every wind tried to make you fall But you leaned in small and brave Like you knew who your hands and say One by one they all went down Fields to ash and roots in the ground But in my palm you stayed alive A little fire I could not outfall The last flower to be saved The last flower to be saved I kept you here through the storm I kept you here I kept you warm The last flower to be saved The last flower to be saved You were the one I would not trade If the whole world had to bend If the sun went hard again I would carry you through every ruin Every blue and if my name gets worn away Let it fall like winter rain You'll still open in my hand You'll still stand The last flower to be saved The last flower to be saved I kept you here through the storm I kept you here I kept you warm The last flower to be saved The last flower to be saved You were the one I would not trade
