These Flowers - Martha Wainwright

These flowers are coming up wild

They’re coming up, they’re coming up They’re coming up wild

These flowers are coming up wild

They’re coming up, they’re coming up They’re coming up wild

They are like those children

Go off to school &don't come back

And I am like their mother

Waiting around about to crack

Crack

Crack

I want them back

Crack

Crack

I want them back

Back

Back

Back

You are like a flower

You rise &rise to the sun

You do not look back at where you came from

I wanna be like that

That

That

That

And the boys they run faster

And they throw harder

And they get stronger

And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone

I wanna be like that

That

That

That

And the girls they are pretty

And they get silly

When they get giddy

And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone

I wanna be like that

That

I’m on my knees in the corner

Wiping my floor, wiping my floor, yeah

And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone

I wanna be like that

That

That

That

These flowers are coming up wild

They’re coming up, they’re coming up They’re coming up wild
